Wealth so loud it doesn't need to speak, just drip.
means A display of wealth so rich and abundant it borders on excess — fine materials, grand scale, and nothing held back.
from From Latin 'opulentia,' tied to 'ops,' meaning power, abundance, or wealth — the same root that gives us 'opus' (a great work) and connects to 'copious.' The Romans had a whole family of words for 'enough resources to spare,' and opulence sat at the top, meaning resources spared so lavishly they practically overflow.
