man of means
Explanation:
Nem foglalkozás, hanem társadalmi állás, középosztályi megélhetési forma volt kb. 18OO-as évek végéig. A nagyszótár szerint: person of independent means, person of leisure, man of means, (+francia jövevényszóval 'rentier'). Online szószedetben: independent gentleman. A BYU egyetem geneológiai szógyűjteményében: private person, without occupation.

Szerintem a 'man of means' elég tömör, és kifejezi a lényeget.
