Well-heeled means rich — but it carries a particular flavour that plain "rich" does not. It describes people who look and live like they have money: good clothes, good address, the ability to write a cheque without thinking. You use it about a person, a family, or a group — "a well-heeled crowd", "her well-heeled parents", "the well-heeled suburbs north of the city".

Because of that, it sits at a mild distance from the person described. It is not an insult, but it is not warm either. Often there is a small dry edge to it, a hint that the writer is standing outside looking in — "the museum's well-heeled donors" says something about a social class, not just a bank balance.
