The word for today is…

sumptuous (adjective):

extremely costly, rich, luxurious, or magnificent

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sumptuous?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : The word sumptuous typically describes things that can only be had at some significant expense, a fact that keeps the modern English word tied to its Latin source: sumptus, meaning “expense.” Another English adjective, sumptuary, has the same Latin source, but today is found mostly in the context of sumptuary laws, largely historical regulations limiting extravagant expenditures and habits, especially on moral or religious grounds.
