obscenely
In vulgar fashion
Obscenely is an adverb that intensifies descriptions of excess or impropriety.
Most directly, it characterizes something done in a sexually offensive or indecent manner.
More commonly, it emphasizes extreme degree, especially of wealth or privilege: obscenely rich, obscenely expensive.
The word carries moral judgment—suggesting not just that something is extreme but that its extremity is somehow offensive or unjust.
The CEO was paid obscenely well while workers struggled.
