Tropes all about the many ways people can show off wealth, just to make things nicer for themselves.
These can be just because the people want to show off, or because it's socially required of them.
Note some tropes here are not strictly for the most wealthy. Even middle class people can afford the occasional luxury. It's just that wealthy characters are more likely to have several of these instead of one or two.
