What is upper class?
The Upper Middle Class doesn't start at $60,000 household income. Unless you live in Kansas or South Dakota, $60k per household doesn't get you very far in the typical metro area where most Americans live today. $60k per family is squarely middle class.
The upper middle class is better described as the Professional or Managerial Class, and consists of mostly white collared professionals or successful small business owners. Typical professions in the upper middle class are biglaw lawyers, physicians, dentists, accountants, consultants, school principals, and engineers with managerial roles. Many have advanced degrees beyond college.
They tend to live in cities during their 20s, marry in their late 20s or early 30s, and move to wealthy suburbs with good school districts when the kids come. The political affiliations of the upper middle class vary greatly with age and region in the country. Among the upper middle class, there is often a strong emphasis on education and getting into the right college for their children, to the point of obsession (see helicopter parents).
Household incomes vary from $100k to $500k. Most upper middle class families still depend on salary and their day job to sustain their lifestyle (hence they are not Upper Class which relies more on investment & rent income). The upper middle class are the heaviest taxed group in America (whereas those in the upper class have more of their income in capital gains, which has a lower tax rate).
In America, the poor thinks they are in the middle class and the middle class thinks they're in the upper middle class, while the upper middle class thinks they're typical middle class Americans.

In the early 90's a small group of bitches (meaning lame ass pussies who get no vagina) from the Grand Rapids area decided to join together and make a group. this group was named "upper class royalty" which happens to be quite the opposite of what the members really are. it was more of a name of fantasy for these soft ass niggas. they also decided to make up phrases like "shooting chease" (to beat off infront of men) and other phrases with strong homosexual meanings
the entire "upper class royalty" got their asses beat by several elementary students (see "stepbrothers")
the upper class royalty likes to make up stupid homosexual phrases

Upper class - what does it mean?
A promiscuous young girl, who has the body & the smarts. This girl can, will & has "won" or "stolen" the boyfriend of another girl who obviously wasnt good enough! Because the new gf is better than the last one, the boyfreind left the old gf for the much better new one. But of course the old (before) gf "tries" her best to make a come back, so she calls the new (after) gf a whore.

Upper class - definition
Upper Class Mentality is seen often, if not primarily, from middle class individuals. It is the attitude that they are a huge success and all others are inferiors. People with an UCM (pronounced You-See-Em) generally drive a slightly better than average vehicle, and have a slightly nicer than average home, while looking down at those who have not acheived this "status". These folks are very prone to bankruptcy and heartbreak once they realize they truly are not better than everyone they look down upon. This is a chronic condition, and coming to this realization may never actually happen. Keep your eyes open, you see em? :)
Susie: Hey Joe, look at that arse with his nose up in the air driving his big SUV. You see em tailing that guy in his rusty old car?
Joe: Yep, he definitely has an Upper Class Mentality.
John: Why does Larry always act like he is better than everyone, and talk about his boat? I hear he can barely afford his payments.
Wolfgang: Yep, he is a UCM.
A suburbanite is a great definition/example of someone with an Upper Class Mentality
Upper class - slang
Rich dickheads that care only for money and are selfish. They don't care about anyone lower than them and they will shelter their offspring to the point where their offspring turns up their noses at the lower class, to the point of where the lower class usually gets out whatever weaponry they have to hand and bludgeons the upper class offspring. Upper class people are usually to be found throwing events of high social status such as garden parties and lavish functions such as those, which are best avoided.
Upper class people are also highly bigoted and will boast of how good they are to every single person around them who is rich and idiotic enough to believe that bullshit. They like to spend heaps on unnecessary shit like designer clothes, latest toys/gadgets, fast cars.
Ricky: 'Did you see that upper class person on the news the other day? She was complaining about how the poor people make her house smell with all their filth.'
Dicky: 'Next time she complains I'll go round to her house and break her nose.'
Upper class
The Upper Class defines many different subspecies of humans (despite the small percentage of the population) of mainly two areas, Old Money and New Money.
The first species (Homo Republicanus) generally consists of old money. Homo Republicanus are generally very stubborn and angry and shouldn't be interacted with directly. They complain that the working class (they are called working for a reason) need to get off their lazy asses and should get harvard diplomas, afterall the upper class are working hard playing golf and paying their servants. Homo Republicanus believes that the liberals are communist and consider anyone below them in social class to be filthy peasants.
The second species (Nouveau riche Anubis) consists of more new money. Bill Gates would be an example, as well as many other people that have worked hard to become rich. Many people in this group are discriminated against by species such as Homo Republicanus because they aren't inbred and because they "intentionally" weren't born into the Upper Class. Although "new money" generally has more importance than Homo Republicanus because most of them have contributed to society instead of inherit wealth.
"Ew! Mother, why are we driving through a landfill?"- A young Upper Class person driving through an upper-middle class neighborhood in a lamborghini
"Those liberal commies. Why should the poor people have rights and taxes lower than us?"- An Upper Class Homo-republicanus complaining about people with less money than him

Upper class
Contrary to what many think, the "upper class" is not always the richest of the rich, and they are not necessarily conservative.
For example, Bill Gates, despite being one of the richest men on the planet, does not really fit in with the traditional American upper crust. As far as politics, the Boston Brahmins, who are the epitome of "upper class," were liberal.
