deep-pocketed
Having substantial funds
Deep-pocketed describes having substantial financial resources, typically implying the ability to spend freely or absorb costs that others couldn't: deep-pocketed investors, a deep-pocketed legal defense.
The image is of pockets so deep you can keep reaching in without hitting bottom.
Often appears in contexts of litigation, lobbying, or business competition where money confers staying power.
