pompous (adjective) refers to the attitude displayed by someone who thinks they are very important. It is a form of vanity, self-aggrandizing pride and arrogance, and is shown by a pretentious and exaggerated display of 'dignity.'
e.g. "Although he is very rich, well-educated, related to the nobility, and lives in a massive mansion, he is not pompous at all."
