What does "a few highly trousered" mean?
"trousered" is a slang expression meaning to receive money, often with an implication that its receipt was improper in some way.
"a few highly trousered" probably means a few people who received a lot of money.

"Means they have newly acquired wealth?"
Not necessarily, they might have been wealthy already, it could mean someone with a lot of money suddenly has more.

The origin of the expression is that if you receive money you would put it in your trouser pocket.
