Depends on what you mean by first adopters. Some of the Christian church fathers were quite educated people, and many of the Buddha's great disciples came from immense wealth.

And Buddha was a prince.

That makes Buddhism a religion of the wealthy if a religion at all. Where the wealthy preach simplicity. An irony.
