Here in  the Eastern USA the male counterpart  would perhaps be   
"Brahmin", which is loosely defined as:

A socially or culturally  superior person, especially a descendant of  
the upper classes from  New England usually possessing large amounts of  
old money. Usually  WASPS (White Anglo Saxon Protestants)

The New England reference is to  blood lines of the early settlers in  
the colonies who struck it  rich.

eg. He was a Boston Brahmin  (John Adams family, Henry Cabot  (& Lodge)  
Family, Choate Family, Chaffee Family (Senator from  Rhode Island) etc.

Or as Jack Mitchell might say, a rich old fart.  <grin>
