It's the economic equivalent of a biological parasite. The class of people who get a free ride on the worker's backs. Those include, but are not limited to: non-worker shareholders, landlords, and all types of scam artist.

Ya know, the people who have designed our entire society to benefit themselves. The people who have turned us into mindless machinery. Those are parasites. They infect our society and make it sick and weak. They take over our collective nervous system to place us in the optimal position for the parasite's benefit.

You're describing billionaires.

While I am led to believe that all currently existing billionaires are members of the parasite class, an exact arbitrary amount of money isn't what makes someone a parasite. There are people who are ostensibly in the "lower class" if based on raw dollar amount, but who are members of the parasite class by nature of engaging in economic parasitism against other people.
