flexer

Brags with biceps

A flexer is someone who shows off, particularly wealth, possessions, or achievements.

The term comes from bodybuilding—flexing muscles to display them—but now applies broadly to any ostentatious display: He's such a flexer with that new car.

The word carries mild contempt, suggesting the display is more about ego than substance.
