Luxury refers to those goods, arrangements, manufacturing, artwork or objects beyond what is necessary. What is to be acquired exceeds the normal means, as demand increases proportionally with the increase of revenue as opposed to goods to meet needs. It has also been defined as "The best that money can buy."
