opulences
Displays of wealth
Opulences is the plural of opulence, referring to multiple instances or displays of wealth and luxury.
The word appears in contexts describing various manifestations of extravagance: the opulences of Renaissance courts, surrounded by the opulences of gilded furniture and crystal chandeliers.
The plural is uncommon, since opulence typically functions as an uncountable noun describing a general state of lavishness.
