Fat cat is slang term which describes a rich, greedy person who, due to ownership of capital, is able to "live easy" off the work of others. Often, those labeled "fat cats" will reap a sustantial financial gain from a business, while the business itself, and the people who are employed by it, do not. The term is also sometimes used to refer disparagingly to wealthy contributors to a political campaign. (http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/fat cat)

nouveau riche
the nouveau riche - people who have become rich recently and who buy expensive things in order to show people how much money they have. She refused to live in Beverly Hills which she considered far too nouveau riche. (http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/nouveau riche)

Welcome to the city of money burners!
Just another idea/ Comes from "got money to burn"...
Note from asker:
| Не могу найти примеров в нужном мне контексте, всё больше в контексте "не позволяйте вашей машине сжирать ваши деньги". Спасибо! |
Discussion
Having a modest education and social background, New Russians are perceived as arrogant nouveau riche and gaudy, conspicuous consumers with poor taste. Money and status symbols are prominently displayed by the New Russian, in particular jewelry and luxury cars.
Но сказать "нувориш" нельзя.
Я выбрала вариант Dylan Edwards. Спасибо огромное всем за помощь и за ссылки!
