* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Zuko is prince of the Fire Nation, initially seeming much better off than Aang, an otherwise anonymous monk before it's revealed that he's the Avatar. [[SubvertedTrope In truth,]] Zuko's current financial situation isn't much better: he's an exile on an underfunded SnipeHunt with a small crew travelling on an undersized and outdated ship. Zuko actually has Azula as ''his'' Privledged Rival: she has the love from their father that Zuko never did. In Season 2 we have the contrast of now penniless Zuko, hunted as an enemy of the Earth Kingdom and traitor to the Fire Nation vs Azula, who has all the wealth, resources, and influence of the Fire Nation behind her. Both are actively chasing Aang, but decidedly not working together, at least until Azula decides to give Zuko one more chance at the end of Season 2 to join her.

* ''Franchise/FateSeries'': Rin Tohsaka used to be rich, but was orphaned and her guardian, Kirei Kotomine, squandered her money. This hurts her because her main form of Magecraft requires gemstones as ingredients. Rin's main rival is Luviagelita Edelfelt, who uses most of the same Magecraft as Rin, but is absurdly wealthy and can afford pretty much anything, including nearly unlimited gemstones. Luvia constantly flaunts her wealth and mocks Rin for being poor, as well as seeking to horn in on her LoveInterest Emiya Shirou, who Luvia calls "Sherou". And especially in the animes where she appears, she is very much the master of the [[NoblewomansLaugh ojou-sama laugh]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' has Asuka Kazama and Emilie "Lili" de Rochefort, who can be seen as {{Alternate Company Equivalent}}s of the aforementioned Sakura and Karin.

Lili loses to Asuka in ''5: Dark Resurrection'' and, driven by revenge, spends the next tournament trying to challenge Asuka to a rematch. In her ending, Lili's butler Sebastian comments that fighting is how Lili makes friends, so make of that what you will.
