Socialism is often defined as a system that rejects private ownership in favor of public or collective control. Wealth, in that framework, is meant to be redistributed rather than accumulated.
A socialite, by contrast, is someone who moves comfortably within elite, often affluent circles. Wealth in that world is not just present — it’s performed, curated, and displayed.
Put simply, one ideology treats wealth as a problem to be solved, and the other treats it as a marker of status to be celebrated.
It doesn’t take much imagination to see the tension there. And when those ideas are embodied in the same person or posture, they tend to invite more eye-rolling than admiration.
Take this inane X post from “socialist socialite” Ella Devi, for instance:

Devi, who has over 25,000 followers on X, took to the social media platform on Monday to attack the wife of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, as reported by theDaily Mail.
“pete hegseth’s wife wore a dress from temu to the white house correspondents dinner (i’m not joking),” Devi posted, alongside photographic evidence that Hegseth’s wife very likely obtained her dress through Temu, an online marketplace that offers heavily discounted consumer goods.
The implication is obvious: “Look at this poor plebeian who can’t even afford to pay full price on fashion.”
