What did the Landed gentry think of nouveau riche?

The landed gentry were a group of upper class people.The nouveau riche (french for "new rich") where poorer people who acquired welath within his or her generation, allowing them to buy goods or luxuries which they were unable to buy before.As the nouveau riche are people who gained money, the landed gentry would feel threatened by these people because the landed gentry were posh people who were used to having lots of money and other people also having money would upset them. As people gain money they also gain status, so the nouveau riche would gain status in their generation too. If these people reach upper class, the landed gentry would have felt as if money was no longer worth as much if other people from lower down (in status ranks) could also get hold of it. The landed gentry wouldn't have liked the nouveau riche.
