He's loaded.......

Does anyone know a Spanish equivalent for the English slang "loaded?" .... as in rich, not drunk or drugged. For instance: "She can afford that car; she's loaded."
What would be the Spanish term (one that would be used in Mexico)?
Muchas gracias!

Hello Ogden,

Unfortunately my slang books are all Spanish-English not vice versa. So can't help with the slang but the common way here in Zacatecas is rica or rico or muy rica or muy rico or mucho muy rica, etc. Very seldom do they say ricuísima.

To be polite and take the sharpness out they say adinerada wealthy.

Here I have never heard a contemptous word for rich. Any contempt is shown by tone and gesture.

Adiós.jerezano
