奢豪 (shēháo) is an adjective meaning 'extravagantly wealthy' or 'lavishly opulent', emphasizing excessive, conspicuous wealth and luxurious lifestyle. The character 奢 (shē) means 'luxurious', 'extravagant', or 'indulgent', often with a negative connotation of wastefulness; 豪 (háo) means 'grand', 'magnificent', or 'powerful', suggesting boldness and abundance. Together, they form a compound that intensifies the sense of over-the-top affluence—more than just rich, it implies flamboyant, almost ostentatious prosperity.

This word is used primarily in descriptive or evaluative contexts: literature, media commentary, or social critique. It often carries subtle disapproval or irony, highlighting imbalance between material excess and social values. While not archaic, it’s more common in written Chinese than casual speech, and appears frequently in discussions about inequality, consumer culture, or elite lifestyles.
