People with newly-acquired wealth (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nouveau riche

(Other definitions for nouveau riche that I've seen before include "Prosperous upstart" , "People with recent wealth but without taste" , "One who has recently come into money" , "Upstart, moneyed but with poor taste" , "People with recently acquired wealth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
