one-stock wealthy noun. A person whose wealth is derived solely from a single, well-performing stock.

Example Citation:
"Many of the wealthy are as concerned to protect their paper wealth as to borrow against it. For the southern rubbish collector, Warburg provided a combination of options called a zero-cost collar that is especially popular among the one-stock wealthy."
—Gary Silverman, "Tenuous prosperity for the one-stock rich," The National Post, January 22, 2000

Notes:
Gareth Branwyn, Wired magazine's official jargon eyeballer, was kind enough to suggest today's phrase.
