An embarrassment of riches is an idiom that means an overabundance of something, or too much of a good thing, that originated in 1738 as John Ozell's translation of a French play, L'Embarras des richesses (1726).

Example: "All four of them have their own cars but there's no room in the driveway--an embarrassment of riches".

The idiom is also the title of other works:

• The Embarrassment of Riches, a 1918 drama film.
• Embarrassment of Riches (EP), a 2006 music album by Elephant Micah
