Originally, a 'fat cat' was an individual who made large donations to a political party, often in an attempt to buy influence and affect policy. Over the years, the term has taken on a wider meaning and now refers to anyone who is wealthy and powerful because of the work of others rather than their own merit, hard work and success.
