The term "upper class" refers to a social group consisting of individuals who possess high levels of wealth, status and influence within society. Members of the upper class typically have access to resources and opportunities that are not available to those in lower socio-economic groups, such as exclusive education, healthcare, and housing. They often occupy positions of power and prestige within their communities, and their opinions and decisions can have a significant impact on society as a whole. The upper class is typically divided into smaller subgroups based on factors such as income, occupation or family history.
