Is it someone who comes from family money?
Has degrees from prestigious universities? Someone who has a prestigious job? Country club membership? Self made money? All of the above? |

First define "social prestige". Your questions make it sound like it's about money so what is "social" about it? |

Anyone fighting against the Russians in Ukraine has "social prestige" in my book. I don't care what school they went to or what country club they did or didn't belong to. |

| There is no real social prestige these days. In the past there were clearly identified social elites as society treated and venerated them as the elites. But we don't do it any more. Because no one cares. |

Ivy League universities + some white collar jobs + medicine are prestigious OP. As far as "social prestige"-- those days of secluded neighborhoods, clubs, etc. are passe + not talked about. |
