Tips: To flaunt means "to show off." When you flaunt money, clothes, sexuality, etc., you are being showy and ostentatious. Ostentatious is a good word to describe anyone who flaunts their money or wealth. Note: Do NOT confuse flaunt with flout. Flout means to "disobey openly and scornfully" or "show contempt and disdain for." Flaunt means "display ostentatiously."
