lavishness
Showy abundant spending
Lavishness is extravagant abundance or generosity—spending, giving, or displaying without restraint.
The word suggests going beyond what's necessary or expected: the lavishness of the wedding reception, the lavishness of his praise.
It can carry admiration for generosity or criticism of excess, depending on context.
