well heeled
Rolling in money
Well heeled means wealthy or financially comfortable: a well-heeled neighborhood, well-heeled investors.
The term suggests not just adequate means but considerable prosperity—enough to afford quality and luxury.
Originally referring to being well-equipped (as with good boots), it now appears almost exclusively in reference to money.
