live like a king

Enjoy supreme luxury

To live like a king is to enjoy great wealth, comfort, and luxury—the kind of abundance historically associated with royalty.

The phrase often emphasizes surprisingly good circumstances: On his salary we lived like kings in Thailand.

It can describe actual opulence or simply living very well relative to expectations.
