* Hijiri Koganei from ''Manga/RomanticKiller'' is from a very wealthy family despite going to the same middle-class public school as Anzu and the other main characters. This is {{justified|Trope}} since his father made him transfer to said school as a way to learn some humility and be able to fend for himself.

* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' there's Tatewaki Kuno, who is actually an {{Expy}} of Mendou from ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' (as both series were created by Creator/RumikoTakahashi); a rich idiot who lives in a ginormous castle estate ''in the middle of contemporary Tokyo'' and who is a wannabe warrior poet who also goes to the local public high school along with the main characters. In this instance it is because his father (an even greater idiot) is also the principal. Tatewaki's sister Kodachi does go to a private girl's school though.

* Mikado Shijo from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' is the heir of the Shijo Corporation and one of the smartest students in all of Japan, yet he attends an ordinary public school instead of the illustrious Shuchi'in Academy (despite his twin sister having attended Shuchi'in since childhood) because he wanted to play soccer with his friends. It helps set him up as Shirogane's foil due to the latter being a ScholarshipStudent. [[spoiler:That said, he does end up transferring to Shuchi'in at the start of his final year of high school.]]

* Carol Olston from ''Manga/TomoChanIsAGirl'' is the daughter of a wealthy British business tycoon and lives in a huge mansion, but she goes to the same high school as her middle-class friends. Kousuke lampshades this as being unusual, noting that usually a family as prestigious as hers wouldn't allow her to go to the same school as him, and it motivates him further to protect her.

Removing examples as it seems especulative, and there is no indication that she is way above the rest of the students in general.


* Judging by [[ThisAintRocketSurgery her parents' careers]], their large house, and all the things [[ChildProdigy the]] [[TeenGenius Tweebs]] make, the titular protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' must come from a wealthy home. She still goes to a typical public high school and is modest about everything.

* In ''Manga/SailorMoon'' this role goes to Ami. She doesn't normally flaunt it, but when the others go visiting her they find out she lives in a condo for the ultra-rich with marble floors in the lobby, and her mother has the hobby of collecting ''diamonds'' - and she has so many that when Minako shatters one with the Holy Sword she tells her it's not a big deal, they have more.
** In the manga, Haruka and Michiru take the role when they transfer to Juban High, having enough money they have their own private ''helicopters'' and Michiru's old apartment had a regulation ''Olympic pool'' (the ''apartment'', not the building).
** Averted with Rei, who goes to a private school for the rich. Ironically she seems to be the ''less'' rich among them.

It's explicitly because Harry's been kicked out of every private school Norman could send him to. There's also the matter of the the school being [[NoCommunitiesWereHarmed a stand-in of The Bronx High School of Science]], which is quite a prestigious school in its own right.
