ballin

Flexing major wealth

Ballin is slang for living extravagantly or flaunting wealth—nice cars, expensive clothes, general success: He's been ballin since he got that promotion.

The term comes from basketball culture and hip-hop, where ballers are players who've made it.

It can describe genuine affluence or just acting like you have money.
