A good antonym for "penniless"

Dear YOYOEXPERT COMMUNITY,

Writing my first English research paper :O, and I was wondering if there is a good antonym for “penniless”.

I am writing about Crime and Punishment’s Luzhin, and I want to create something like a “rags to riches” kind of feeling without the cliche-ness to it.

Thank you in advance!

Ummmm, wouldn’t you gain more experience figuring it out by yourself?

Antonyms for “penniless,”
Rich

I tried to find “the” antonym I was looking for, but it just doesn’t click when I use it like

“from being penniless to being rich” and blahblahblahblahblah…

Thank you for your reply though! :)))))

opulent
affluent
posh
in the chips
bountiful

trillion less

Penniful?

Rags to riches is probably cliche because it is the only one that has a good ring to it.
