I heard the company president's son is going to study abroad next month.
He's what you'd call a sheltered rich boy who doesn't know hardship.
This job is probably too much for him, raised as a naive rich kid.
Derived from 坊 (ぼう, 'boy' or 'son') with the honorific ちゃま, a more polite variant of ちゃん. The reading ぼっちゃま comes from a euphonic change (促音便) of ぼうちゃま.
