Modern celebrities include celebrities in the fashion world, celebrities and rich people in society, including the returned rich or their children, or their status won by their own efforts.
The word "celebrity" comes from Li Yu's "Kite Mismatch" in the Qing Dynasty: Shan Juan fought for me, and I also lamented Shan Juan, driving away the celebrities in the emperor for a day and criticizing and compiling them. The background of celebrities originated from the industrial revolution at the end of 19 century and the beginning of 20 century. At that time, a group of new rich people without aristocratic blood appeared, and they became rich overnight by investing in financial undertakings. In order to show off their wealth to the world, the wives and daughters of these nouveau riche have entered social occasions and entered the upper class. Because they don't have noble titles such as countess and princess, they are collectively called celebrities.
