Character Connection between Catcher and Bonfire

Currently I've been reading The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe. The book about 80's me decade corruption, racism, and sexism that was so prevalent for the era. Sherman McCoy is a thirty-ish self proclaimed "Master of the Universe" who works at Pierce & Pierce Investments. He also is one of the biggest jerks ever published, his character is very similar to that of Holden Caulfield the snotty class concerned protagonist of The Catcher in the Rye. McCoy is what Holden Caulfield grows up to be, instead of teen angst Sherman has his mistress. Instead of worrying about the future, Sherman reflects on his past at the ficticious Buckley school. Sherman and Holden both come from the snobby set of the rich and famous in New York City. They might as well be the Dad's of the future Gossip Girl's. Sherman rationalizes when his wife finds out about his mistress that she's the villain because he makes the money and thus he is the savior. He's more devoted to his business than his little girl Campbell (yes everyone is pretentious). Holden is too busy worrying about the world, but we all know his rebellious streak will end and he'll become just another trader of stocks and bonds. Who knows, if he plays his cards right he might become another "Master of the Universe".
