Answer: Trimalchio is a character that appears in <em>Satyricon</em> by Petronius (first century AD), and is also mentioned in <em>the Great Gatsby</em> (the beginning of <em>Chapter 7</em>).
Explanation:

They were both poor (Trimalchio being a freed slave), and as they manage to acquire certain wealth, they both falsely pretend that they actually belong to the rich world. Trimalchio does so by dressing up, while Gatsby tries to impress people around him by throwing parties.
