Spanish term
jerifaltes, altas esferas
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Film script for comedy set in the 60s
"tycoons, the big guys" is a possibility, but it does not convey the comic sense it has in Spanish. 'Jerifaltes' does not imply a wealthy or successful leader, but rather a 'wannabe' boss.
Please, any suggestions? Thanks!

hotshots in the big leagues / big shots
I think there are various ways you can say this, depending on context. Other possibilities include "big cheese". Also don't seem any problem with adding "wannabe", if necessary, or of using one option in conjunction with something like "upstart".
