'Privatier' is a curious word, when used in Germany.
It's actually French but has been adapted for use within the German culture. It typically means that you did very well in life, and made enough to retire early. So instead of calling yourself a 'retiree' (rentner).....you'd use the word privatier instead.
Yeah, it does place you in a particular class of people that working-class German people dislike.
