This character is usually a young idealistic kid from a wealthy background who takes a hands-on approach to helping the poor and helpless. Their family is filthy rich, but this kid is very well aware of their privilege and they desperately want to balance social injustices. They try to use their money to help the poor, the homeless, the addicted, the ill, orphans and abandoned kids, and other people in need. They may be involved in various charity projects but most importantly, they'll be interacting with those in need personally. They'll organize charity drives, they'll buy them food and clothes and toys and medicine, and distribute it all in person. With smiles and immense emotional support. Helping people with faces (and sometimes names) will look better to the audience, regardless of efficiency. If a wealthy character never donates any money to charity but sneaks out every night in disguise to volunteer at a soup kitchen, they serve to humanize them more than donating money to an anonymous charity organization, even if that would actually help more people. This might be justified if their wealth comes from parents who don't want to donate to charity — the rich kid might not have access to any money they could donate, so volunteering might be the only way they can help. A Social Activist often advocates for systemic change, or at least acknowledges the unfairness of the system, even if that includes their own wealth. It's an eventual conclusion to draw from immersing themselves in the struggles of the lower class and helping personally. Some of them might have political aspirations and hope to bring about a new economic system that is more just and install an equal society. These kids are often true revolutionaries at heart, and they may become pure socialists or anarchists. Usually they're idealistic and they believe they work for the greater good, but they lack any real grasp of the politics or what revolutions really look like. Their trust funds will always be welcomed by their fellow social activists. Some of them might be Secretly Selfish types who do it for PR or who tell themselves that Good Feels Good, but they still invoke/exploit the notion of this trope. Still, others may be doing it purely to annoy and defy their parents (and their class). Not to be confused with Slumming It, noblesse oblige, or philanthropy, though they can overlap. It can also overlap with Non-Idle Rich or Hero Does Public Service. See also Boomerang Bigot (if the character is Old Money who hates Old Money), Hope Bringer, and White Man's Burden. See also Photo Op with the Dog if their charity work could be a publicity stunt, or mistaken for one. This character might become a Bourgeois Bohemian when they grow up. Compare/contrast with Crimefighting with Cash and Misfit Lab Rat. Contrast Revolutionaries Who Don't Do Anything and Bourgeois Bohemian those who say that they're an "agent of change" and yet do nothing meaningful, while here, the rich kid actually does something to improve the society, hands-on. |

Parodied by Princess Jasmine in Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier. She cares deeply for the downtrodden masses but is unfortunately also very naive and spoiled, leading her to come out with lines like "This is so unfair! Poor people need slaves just as much as rich people do!" | |

Julie Mao from The Expanse and the novels the show is based on. She was born into one of the wealthiest families on Earth but had no interest in the lavish lifestyle of her peers. In college, she joined the student activist group Far Horizons Foundation, which eventually led to her joining the Outer Planets Alliance. The OPA is a decentralized movement with an ambiguous reputation that fights for the rights of Belters, who are largely under the heel of Earth and Mars. | |

Erast Fandorin's girlfriend in The State Counsellor, Esfir Litvinova, is the only child of one of Moscow's richest bankers — as well as a radical left activist. While her father is extremely happy about her dating Fandorin (a respectable civil servant, as opposed to her usual preference for men from the lower classes), she dumps him by the end of the book — but not before shifting his political views away from the strong conservative monarchism he has displayed throughout earlier books. | |

Charlotte Dalrymple in Hysteria. She's a young daughter of a rich medical doctor who used her dowry to help the poor in Victorian London. She runs a settlement welfare house and personally teaches poor children. She helps prostitutes (for example, Dr Dalrymple's maid Molly is a former prostitute) and is unapologetic about her progressive opinions. She also tries to raise more money from other rich people of her acquaintance. | |

Kudelia Aina Bernstein of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is from a rich family who lives on Mars. She advocates Martian independence after seeing the poor conditions of the lower class. Then, the situation of Human Debris, particularly those who have the Alaya-Vijnana system implanted in their bodies made her realize that she's not only fighting for the Mars independence but also putting an end to the Human Debris system. | |

Green Arrow: Green Arrow started off as, at best, a "limousine liberal" until writer Dennis O'Neil introduced a storyline in which Oliver Queen lost his fortune. A few nights on the street dealing with the social services net from the bottom radically altered Green Arrow's politics, leading to him becoming an outspoken champion of the poor and oppressed, as a cross between Robin Hood and Abbie Hoffman. | |

He ends up joining an extremist group of nationalists called the AK-47. This enrages QuintÃn, his father, a staunch supporter of statehood for Puerto Rico, to the point that he revises his will so that Manuel will not get any of his money. | |

Sirius Black is an extreme example: not only did he join the Order, he'd been pointedly rebelling against his parents' blood purism since adolescence. | |

Final Fantasy XVI: Clive Rosfield, albeit in a Riches to Rags manner. Initially the firstborn son of the Duke of Rosaria, he is sold into slavery due to him being a Bearer after his father is betrayed to the Sanbreque Empire and killed, and spends thirteen years as a soldier until escaping and being saved by Cidolfus Telamon. From that point on, Clive eventually becomes an abolitionist working to free Valisthea's slaves who eventually becomes the leader of the Hideaway after Cid dies, though he initially is only seeking revenge for his younger brother's murder. | |

Discussed during the reading of Goldstein's manifesto in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Goldstein (or whoever penned it in Goldstein's name) argues that proletariat revolutions are effectively the more prosperous middle classes driving the lower classes to revolt against the ruling classes. Once the revolution is complete, the middle class becomes the ruling class. The ruling class becomes the new middle class and the lives of the proletariat remains unchanged. | |

Narsus in The Heroic Legend of Arslan is a noble person and a genius strategist who is morally opposed to his country's tradition of keeping slaves, an attitude that makes him highly eccentric within the setting. He freed his family's own slaves as soon as he inherited his father's title and is so outspoken about it that before the series he was declared no longer welcome at the king's court despite his strategems having saved the kingdom only a few years earlier. | |

An heiress joins up with an underground anti-capitalist organization, but Megan deduces that she's just using the group to lash out at her billionaire father and doesn't really care about the underlying cause; as she points out near the end of the episode, the girl had access to millions of dollars but didn't give a cent of her own money to the cause she was supposedly so dedicated to. | |

The prequel movies of the X-Men Film Series emphasize this for Charles Xavier. He was born into immense wealth and grew up in the academic Ivory Tower. However, he devotes his life and resources to being a refuge for mutants, particularly underage mutants who have been turned away from their homes and families. Across the series, he is on a quest to ensure equal rights for mutants and a peaceful civilization for all. | |

Felsi Rollo from The Morrigan grew up as part of a minor house in the Spacian aristocracy, hating her parents for how they treated her but entirely ignorant about the suffering they caused to the people of Earth to maintain their lifestyle. After she started dating the Earthian Chuchu (told in the Put Up Your Dukes sidestory), she got to work educating herself, with help from Chuchu's politically radical father. By the time of the main fic, she's a radical Earthian rights supporter who often annoys people around her by going on rants about oppression, and later defects to the Earthian freedom fighters Dawn of Fold. | |

The Essex Serpent: George Spencer is a doctor and his family is described as 'embarrassingly rich'. He falls in love with Martha (from the working class, but now a lady's companion) who however doesn't return his feelings. She doesn't tell him this right away and keeps him hooked because she plans to use him to help her solve the problem of London housing and deal with poverty in general. George improves conditions for lodgers in the buildings he buys and the rent is very low. He plans to work for the poor even after it becomes clear that Martha won't change her mind. | |

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Callum Crayshaw is a guest on the "Pressing Issues" talk radio show. He is a stereotypical trust-fund liberal who genuinely wants to help the lower classes, but has no practical ideas on how to do so (his solution to gang battles and automatic weapons on the street is to let all the criminals out of jail), struggles with the concept of people who don't have access to a trust fund, and mostly ends up blathering about his vacations to third world countries. | |

Knives Out adopts a more cynical version of this trope. At first glance, Meg matches this trope to a tee — young, contemptuous of her staid conservative relatives, gets on well with and defends "the help", is studying something vaguely understood by her relatives to be along Marxist / post-modernist / social justice lines, tends towards politically correct self-righteousness, likes weed, and so forth. However, when her share of the family inheritance ends up being threatened, she's quick to turn on her lower-class friends by revealing that Marta's mother is in the country illegally and side with the relatives she supposedly disdains. While she does later demonstrate regret for this, it's ambiguous how sincere she is and the point is nevertheless made that in most cases of this trope, the "Rich Kid" part will usually win out over the "Social Activist" part when the crunch time comes. | |

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Rachel Elizabeth Dare advocates for various environmental and social causes against the wishes of her father, a wealthy real estate developer. This causes her immense guilt when she witnesses the death of Pan, as her father's business directly contributed to the destruction of nature that caused Pan to fade. The god didn't blame her though, saying she could be better than him. | |

Love in Hate Nation: Francis is a wealthy Ivy League student who takes up various civil rights causes, including dating Susannah, a black girl, during a time when it's forbidden, but it's implied most of this is just to get clout with his progressive friends. It's worth noting that, for all his self-aggrandizing, he isn't willing to support LGBT rights and has regressive views about women, snapping at Susannah when he (correctly) suspects her to be a lesbian and guilt-tripping her for not taking the opportunity to marry a rich man. | |

The title character in Fritz the Cat thinks of himself like this, when in fact he's just making irrational, barely-informed judgements based on White Guilt and whatever he picked up in an NYU class. His resulting call for revolution results in all of Harlem getting hammerbombed by law enforcement. | |

The Good Place: Tahani comes from a family of wealth and privilege, but became a social activist to compete with her sister for their parents' attention. In season three, after finding out about the points system in the afterlife, she decides to focus on becoming a better person for the sake of it, leading her to become something of this trope. This trope reaches its apex in the Grand Finale, when she first spends her time in the Good Place learning practical skills. Then, she chooses not to walk through the Last Door and instead decides to help with the reformation of the afterlife by becoming an Architect herself, even taking the position of an intern so she can truly learn the ropes. |

Final Fantasy: Rinoa Heartilly in Final Fantasy VIII turns out to come from a privileged upbringing in Galbadia, one of the most powerful nations of the game's world; her late mother was a famous singer and her father is a prominent Galbadian general. Rinoa is introduced as a member of the resistance movement against her own country's military occupation of Timber, hiring the main party to help her group in their efforts to liberate Timber from Galbadian control. Her idealism and her lack of practical experience or training contrast sharply with the rest of the main cast, especially Squall. Final Fantasy XVI: Clive Rosfield, albeit in a Riches to Rags manner. Initially the firstborn son of the Duke of Rosaria, he is sold into slavery due to him being a Bearer after his father is betrayed to the Sanbreque Empire and killed, and spends thirteen years as a soldier until escaping and being saved by Cidolfus Telamon. From that point on, Clive eventually becomes an abolitionist working to free Valisthea's slaves who eventually becomes the leader of the Hideaway after Cid dies, though he initially is only seeking revenge for his younger brother's murder. |

Game of Thrones: Margaery Tyrell's second Establishing Character Moment is when, while traveling through a bad part of King's Landing in the royal party, she hops out of her litter to go into an orphanage to spend time with the children. The Lannisters complain, but she points out the Enlightened Self-Interest aspects of it: if the commoners like you, they're easier to govern (a sharp departure from the more dismissive or paranoid attitudes of previous southern nobles we've met, especially the Lannisters themselves, who are downright cruel). | |

However, Chase sides with the anti-occupation side instead and later helps the party overthrow her mother. If Chase isn't the one to sacrifice herself to save the party, she'll become the new prime minister in order to rebuild Vulcanite into a more equal society. | |

Robot Chicken: One sketch has Richie Rich fall on hard times (his father refused to buy him a rocket-powered skateboard), so he bonds with a homeless man and begins working to fix the inherently flawed capitalist system that left the man jobless. When he learns that the special interest money that led to the man's employer being shut down came from his own father, Richie decides to take direct action by murdering him. His father bribes him with the rocket-powered skateboard, and Richie is immediately back to his original, uncaring personality. | |

Ninjago: Harumi is the adopted daughter of the emperor and empress. Since she started her life as a commoner, she knows how tough it is for average citizens, so she frequently takes her family's leftover food to distribute it to hungry people. At least part of this is an act in order to gain Lloyd's trust, but her disdain for the royal family and their wastefulness is real, and she's shown to empathize with a child she relates to, so there may be a nugget of truth to it. | |

Ripping Yarns, "Roger of the Raj": Roger is a son of incredibly, immensely rich British aristocrats. His teacher tries to invoke this trope and make Roger a leader in social revolution, believing that Roger should want to "found a socialist state with centralised ownership of capital to be used for the benefit of all". So he teaches him about social revolution, socialism, Marxism, the state ownership of capital, and the bloodshed that would follow the armed uprising of the proletariat. Roger is disgusted with his parents and their social class, but he has a different idea about his life: he wants to start a little shop and go into trade. | |

Zoe from Road 96 is a deconstruction of this. While she abandoned her privileged life and genuinely hates the corruption in her country to the point she lacks any fear about the consequences of doing so, she's actually The Load since her lack of fear doesn't makes her short-sighted and foolish instead of brave. This means she ends up causing more problems than she fixes while people from less privileged backgrounds show more caution and common sense. | |

Tabby of ContraPoints is a representation of the stereotypical left-wing activist furry transgender woman (her nickname even comes the Sabo-Tabby), and implicitly has (or prior to transitioning had) the same upper-middle-class background as most of Natalie Wynn's characters. Deconstructed in that she has difficulty explaining anything without obtuse academic jargon and gets criticised for starting violence that she might not be as likely to suffer the consequences of (since despite being trans and dressing as a Cat Girl, she's still upper class, white, and passes well). | |

Unlike her mobbed-up father, Hye-rin is a student radical in her youth, going to protests and such and leading rallies and strikes. She even gets arrested and tortured by the secret police, once. But it's all really a rebellion against her controlling father. Eventually, after she joins her father's business, she cast her left-wing past behind without a second thought. | |

She didn't just fund the shelter, though; she also spent plenty of time there doing things like bottle-feeding orphaned kittens.

Deconstructed in "The Power To Believe" by The Dream Academy (best remembered for its instrumental version in Planes, Trains and Automobiles). The song is about a man "born and raised in privilege" who had everything handed to him on a silver platter and foregoes any sort of higher education to make the world a better place for those less fortunate than him. Unfortunately, it proves to be too much for him to handle and he soon goes crawling back to his life of comfort. | |
