Pronunciation: /ˌwɛltəˈdu/

adj

  1. Rich, prosperous, financially stable and comfortable.

    “Some philosophers aver that the well-to-do should be taxed at a higher rate than poorer people.”

    “From another point of view, it was a place without a soul. The well-to-do had hearts of stone; the rich were brutally bumptious; the Press, the Municipality, all the public men, were ridiculously, vaingloriously self-satisfied.”
