One way to hold opulent: something filled to the brim with wealth, and filled where it shows. Gold on the ceiling, velvet on the chairs, three cooks in the kitchen. The money is not hidden in a bank; it has been turned into surface, and the surface is meant to be seen.
From the word’s history
The packet traces opulent to Latin opulentus, from ops (wealth, power, resources) — literally full of wealth, which is why the word attaches both to richly made things and to richly lived lives.
證據裡寫 opulent 借自拉丁文 opulentus，來自 ops，意思是財富、權力、資源。字面可以想成「被財富填滿的」。這就說明了為什麼它既能形容堆滿裝飾的東西，也能形容排場十足的生活。
