The affluent types.

The Monopoly: Their wealth is used to gain more power for their money making. Getting money, to get power, to get monet, a self perpetuating cycle that will continue till sabotage or freak change. The monopoly will use any means necessary to make sure their profit is ‘secure’ & that production to make more is ‘most effective’. They don’t tend to be very popular with opulace, though those in power to make deals with them will love them (till they get in the monopoly’s way way)

The Influence: Their wealth is used to gain more influence over others. THey have realized that having influence over others, is much better than having wealth over them. After all influence allows them to sway there wants & needs to best set their own plan. They are usually a planner & web viewer, but if you find the right strings to cut, their whole plan will come crashing down

The Bottomless Pocket: Their wealth is used recklessly to gain flights of fantasy. Having gained so much money that they won’t be able to throw it away in a lifetime, the bottomless pocket spends is very freely. Their ambitions will be thoroughly over-funded & poorly planned out, these are the easiest to deal with in a roundabout way, since facing them head on may be a death sentence due to their endless funds & the resources that can come with.

The Illegitimate: Their wealth is illegitimate & used to try & gain legitimacy. They lack the wealth associated with everyone else on this list, but has been able to keep up the appearance of being fabulously rich. They use their skills in deception, manipulation, & just general charisma to gain power & wealth. They are hard to deal with in a roundabout way, & attacking them head on will reap the most benefits, due to them lacking many resources that they should have for their amount of ambition at this time.
