From what I can gather and im most likely stereotyping.......

Aristocrats are from nobility and royal blood and form part of the ruling class or upper class. An aristocrat knows he/she is better and more worthy than people underneath them 'aka' the working classes / the peasants.

While a oligarch comes from the people and is self made, sometimes corrupt, power hungry and has lots of political influence to change how the government opearates.

The prior is a subtype of the latter, just with inheritable legal rights.
