The term is a modern compound slang word formed by combining 'bread' (slang for money, originating from 'bread and honey' rhyming slang for money, or 'daily bread') and 'head' (used similarly to 'pothead' or 'metalhead' to denote an enthusiast or someone consumed by an obsession). Emerging in late 20th-century subcultures, it specifically targets those whose primary focus in life is the pursuit of financial accumulation.
