It's a rather diminutive term for the newly rich. The tone is almost like dirt barons.
So the same way that 'new money' is used to describe newly rich people? (as in "look at his car, you can tell he's 'new money")
Actually a little different. In chinese, the term "tu hao" can be also used with a humorous context, not entirely critical.
If you plug in the chinese into google translate, it comes up as "Tyrant."
