@Piko: Those aren't my definitions. They're from dictionaries, far more credible than either you or I. 'Aristocracy' is an archaic term; no one uses that crap nowadays (duh). And yes, if the term were in full use today, Paris Hilton would indeed be considered an aristocrat, by the majority, no matter what your personal definition of the word happens to be.

What is an aristocrat to you, exactly? It'd be nice if you stated that much instead of just claiming reputable and much more credible sources are somehow wrong.

@Geist: Save for the ham-fisted Michelangelo analogy, literally everyone you mentioned is/was an aristocrat.
