Aristocracy refers to a style of life in which people try to live like aristocrats and to establish their social relations based on aristocracy. The present paper, using a content analysis method, aims to explain the aristocratic lifestyle with an emphasis on the Supreme Leader’s (Imam Khamenei) sayings. The terminology and typology of Aristocracy was studied and its consequences were described. Although it may be regarded as a requirement of gaining power in other countries, it is not the case in the Islamic system. Here, an aristocratic lifestyle is considered as a weak point of the country’s authorities. This study showed that aristocracy is a kind of disease.
