Super-Trope to Rich Sibling, Poor Sibling and Humble Parent, Spoiled Kids, since class conflict is a game the whole family can enjoy. Any number of familial relationships can be strained or even irretrievably destroyed when it comes to issues of money or social status. Families can also work well as a way for writers to create a microcosm of broader class trends within society coming into direct conflict with one another. This is common between Big Screwed Up and Dysfunctional Families. It may lead to fights and tension over dinner when they're all gathered, where the rich family member would throw snide remarks about the less fortunate members. |

Gilmore Girls: This is basically the B plot, with middle-class Lorelai having to deal with her Old Money parents after Crossing the Burnt Bridge to give her daughter the shot at the Ivy League school she wants to go to. Her parents agree to pay Rory's prep school tuition, if Lorelai and Rory come weekly for dinner and keep Emily and Richard involved in Rory's life. The next seven seasons are a long tug-of-war between Lorelai and Emily about class values, with Emily determined to give Rory the upper-class advantage she wanted to give Lorelai, and Lorelai resistant to bringing Rory into that world. | |

T*Witches: The Disney Channel Original Movie adaptation has Separated at Birth twins Cameron and Alex, reunited at 21, clash over their very different upbringings.

However, they eventually bond and bring their respective families, plus their birth family, together. | |

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder: Played for Black Comedy. Monty Navarro spent his life in poverty until he learns after his mother's death that she was an heiress of the incredibly wealthy D'Ysquith family, disinherited for marrying his working-class father. Monty, as eighth in line for the Earl of Highhurst position, decides to improve his station and take revenge for his mother's disgrace by killing off everyone ahead of him in succession. Downplayed since he never tells his victims he is related to them, so it's more of a one-sided conflict. | |

Mansfield Park: The three Ward sisters each marry into a different class as adults: one becomes Lady Bertram, a wealthy but sluggish mother of four; one becomes Mrs. Norris, a lower-middle-class parson's widow who helps out the Bertrams; and one becomes Mrs. Price, a poor sailor's wife with many children to care for. Mrs. Price is shunned by the rest of the family for many years for her unsanctioned marriage until she asks her sisters for help after her husband becomes unable to provide for 10 children. The class conflict is passed onto Fanny, the protagonist. While she grows up with her wealthy cousins from age 10 on, Mrs. Norris and the Bertrams other than Edmund regard Fanny as lesser and never let her forget it until near the end of the novel. |

This is part of Mary's backstory in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!. After Marquis Hart's first wife died, he married his second wife—a woman noted to be of significantly lower status than him—in a controversial marriage. This causes Mary, his only daughter with the second wife, to be looked down upon by her half-sisters, all borne out of the first wife. The latter even call Mary a Red-Headed Stepchild mainly out of this. | |

In The Descendants, on top of everything else protagonist Matt is forced to deal with (like his wife's impending death, his estrangement from his kids, and the revelation that his wife was cheating on him), Matt has to decide what to do with land that he inherited from his family, as it's been held in a trust for years, but the trust is about to expire. Matt, who has been a successful lawyer and has lived within his means, wants to keep the land undeveloped, as it's some of the last pristine wilderness on Kauai. His cousins, on the other hand, who are mostly working class and have not been living so frugally, want him to sell the land and split the money with them. | |

Ducktales 2017: While Scrooge McDuck is the richest duck in the world, his nephew Donald ended up raising his sister's triplets on his own on a houseboat, drifting in and out of jobs due to his bad temper. While the money wasn't the reason they drifted apart (making this a downplayed example), Scrooge often calls Donald a "deadbeat". In addition, as a preteen first meeting Scrooge, Donald would write emo songs with lyrics like "Gotta Eat the Rich Uncle". Also between Donald and his cousin Gladstone, who has never had to work a day in his life due to his insanely good luck. Gladstone often finds $20 bills out of nowhere and gets things like cars and boats for free, while Donald, insanely unlucky, struggles to keep a job and keep his houseboat in order. Donald sees Gladstone as "the worst" and never visits him, while Gladstone is horrified when a spell turns him into Donald. Comes up in "Last Crash of the Sunchaser" when Scrooge's great-nephew Louie, who grew up with Donald, is most angry at Scrooge for having so much money and not spending enough to find his mother when she went missing. Meanwhile, a flashback shows Scrooge nearly drained his entire fortune trying to find her — he had to be stopped by his Board of Directors. When Louie later learns this in "The Shadow War: Part 1", he forgives Scrooge. |

From the Marcus Didius Falco series, Fatal Legacy (2023) has the Roman public informer Flavia Albia taking on what she thinks is a straightforward case where she has to locate the documented proof a former slave was granted his freedom. As the slave went on to inherit property and found a lucrative business, with his granddaughter about to enter a good marriage, a lot depends on this. Albia discovers exactly how much money and property is in doubt and who would stand to benefit if its current owner never stopped being a slave and has no title to any of it. And the case, suddenly, becomes a lot less straightforward. | |
