Interestingly in Luke 16:19 Jesus gives us a startling clue saying the rich man was dressed in purple and fine linen,when we know for a fact that this is how the Sadducees dressed. This is the Priestly Garments as in Exodus 28:8
Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it--of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen. Exodus 28:8
New International Version (©1984)
so, this is the first clue in this puzzle that this rich man was a Sadducee. This was not a descriptive title as in the Good Samaritan Parable.

The Sadducees were a Jewish sect known for their focus on the Temple and religious authority. They were associated with the priestly class and held significant influence in religious and political matters. Their beliefs often clashed with the Pharisees, another prominent Jewish sect, causing tension within the community. The Sadducees' influence waned after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
The Sadducees, a Jewish religious group during the time of Jesus, did not believe in a bodily resurrection. They only accepted the authority of the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) and did not believe in an afterlife or resurrection of the dead.
The Essenes were a Jewish religious group known for their communal living, strict adherence to purity laws, and apocalyptic beliefs. The Sadducees were another Jewish sect that primarily consisted of the priestly elite and had more conservative religious views, rejecting beliefs such as the afterlife and angels. They also had differing interpretations of Jewish law and scripture.
The Pharisees believed in the resurrection of the dead and the existence of angels and spirits, while the Sadducees rejected these beliefs. The Pharisees also believed in the oral law and traditions, while the Sadducees only followed the written Torah.
The Pharisees and Sadducees were both Jewish religious groups in ancient Israel, but they held different beliefs and interpretations of the Torah. While they did not see eye to eye on many theological matters, they were not necessarily enemies in the sense of being in constant conflict. They did, however, engage in debates and disagreements over religious practices and beliefs.
