Answer: "Rich Girl" is a song by the pop duo Daryl Hall & John Oates. The song became their first of six number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, which is about a rich girl who can always rely on her rich father to get her out of trouble, is interesting because it wasn't actually written about a woman at all. In fact, the title character in the song is based on a spoiled heir to a fast-food chain who was an ex-boyfriend of Daryl Hall's girlfriend, Sara Allen. "But you can't write, "You're a rich boy" in a song, so I changed it to a girl," Hall told Rolling Stone.
