affluent
Having considerable wealth
Affluent means having plenty of money or resources—wealthy, well-off.
An affluent neighborhood has expensive homes; an affluent family wants for nothing.
The word carries connotations of comfortable abundance rather than extreme riches: affluent suburbs, the affluent middle class.
As a noun, an affluent is a tributary stream flowing into a larger one.
