Opulence

Opulence

<ahp-pew-lense>

wealth; fortune; luxury;

having a lot of money and possessions.

The opulence of the mansion was complete with gold trim.

Memory trick:
opul reminds of opal.
Opal is a gemstone and can be expensive.

Used at work:
The opulence of the party pleased everyone because the company was doing well.
