rolling in it

Swimming in money

Rolling in it means having a great deal of money—being wealthy to the point of excess.

The image is of someone so rich they could literally roll around in their cash.

Her parents are rolling in it.

The phrase is informal and often carries a note of envy or mild disapproval.
