Actually it has two meanings Oxford dictionary has different meaning and cambridge has different so it depends where you want to use the word:
Oxford meaning:
A person of humble origin who has gained wealth, influence, or celebrity.
ex- "It sounds good that some of the parvenus have volunteered to pay taxes."
Cambridge meaning:
someone from a low social position who has suddenly become rich or successful.
ex- "From this unpromising start, the story apparently went, the young parvenu founded a great people."
Hope it helps.
