I wish like hell everyone would stop calling those creatures 'elitists'.

  Effetists

Public name recognition and/or a big pile of money only mean public name recognition and a big pile of money.
Dust in the wind compared to the truly elite who are esteemed as such by dint of character or tangible accomplishment.

ef•fete
 adj. > Characterized by extreme refinement or self-indulgence, often to the point of unworldiness or decadence
 adj.> Having or reflecting an attitude of social superiority; pretentious or snobbish.
