Since you obviously don't know what you are talking about, here is what a yuppie is

"Yuppies tend to value material goods (especially trendy new things) and are also supposed to have "bad taste" in that they buy expensive things merely for the sake of buying expensive things. In particular this can apply to their stocks, luxury automobiles,houses, and gadgets (cell phones).
Heavily influenced by a competitive corporate environment, "yuppies" often value those behaviors that they have found useful in gaining upward mobility and hence income and status." ---HENCE PATRICK BATEMAN
Let me guess, Paris Hilton is also a yuppy. And so are Donald Trump's kids.
