high-priced
Not at all cheap
High-priced means expensive or costing a lot of money: a high-priced attorney, high-priced real estate.
The term often carries a hint of judgment—suggesting something may cost more than it's worth, or that premium pricing doesn't guarantee quality.
A high-priced free agent in sports commands a large salary.
