We're pretty sure you can't, but we don't know what word you'd use. It's not hedonistic, that's different. We're just looking for the word that describes specifically a person, not a thing.

It's a bit like how you can't call someone who likes creamy things creamy.

I believe that I've occasionally seen this done, but I would call it poor writing. rather one might say:

She had luxurious tastes; her closet was full of mink coats and designer outfits.

or

He had luxurious habits; he always flew First Class and stayed in penthouse suites at five-star hotels.

So it is a person's tastes or habits or possessions that are luxurious, not the person directly.

Maybe extravagant is the word you’re looking for. It can refer to someone’s tastes or spending habits or particular large purchases, but also the person themself:

3a : spending much more than necessary

has always been extravagant with her money

bon vivant - a person who devotes themselves to a sociable and luxurious lifestyle.

If you want to sound really cool (and pompous), combine bon vivant with billionaire, gallivanter, and playboy ;)
