Pip, despite all of his snobbery and finery, got his fortune from a class of person Pip disdains and shuns.

Explanation:

In the book, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Pip Pirrip believed that his benefactor was a Miss Havisham and that through her, he had become engaged to Estelle. He strives to become an improved person so that he may join the upper classes of society where Miss Havisham and Estelle seemingly belong.

He was therefore shocked when he found out that his benefactor was indeed a convict named Abel Magwitch whom Pip had been kind to when Pip was younger. This was ironic because Pip in his quest to join the upper classes, looked down on people like Abel and yet it was those kind of people that were funding him.
