Vampires are often allegory for aristocrats, but I think they can represent capitalists as well, because both classes are parasites in their respective time periods.
Is there any piece of media that depicts a vampire with capitalist aesthetic?
A lot of vampires in WoD are capitalists because, as we know even from capeshit, money is the best superpower. Sure, you can skulk in sewers like some Nosferatu but not even the Second Inquisition in the new shitty grimdark version of WoD is able to do much to billionaire.
Then there is the Syndicate branch of the Technocracy which are the embodiment of capitalism itself. They work for the technocracy but they are hypocrites that use very vulgar magic. They also have a subsidiary that is an oil corporation Pentex that is even more evil than the average oil corporation.
I mean, the original Dracula movies were usually about some Mysterious Count who lives apart from society, follows old traditions and hunts those with less power than himself, physically or societally. That already seems like an indictment of the current system as is, even if Counts existed before Capitalism did.
These people are vampires.

The classic world of darkness has a vampire clan associated with capitalists called the Ventrue.
