מקום בצמרת


Explanation:
Top of the heap -
מקום בצמרת החברה
המעמד העליון

knickerbocker - the old aristocracy of New York, often with a Dutch background (e.g. Vanderbilt - Van der Bilt). If the context is clear, you can say

אנשי המעמד העליון הותיק, הניקרבוקרים

otherwise you may have to add that it's New York:

המעמד העליון הותיק של ניו-יורק, אצולת הכסף הישן
