hasn't islam had that kind of ... "biblical polygamy" traditionally? i remember reading/hearing somewhere that men could have multiple wifes as long as they could pay for their resources. or is that just not contemporary anymore?

Yeah, traditionally a Muslim man can have up to four wives. Some Shias also have temporary marriages, where you marry a prostitute for as long as you want to enjoy their services.

It’s still a thing - Ibn Saud, first Saudi King, had so many wives that Wikipedia doesn’t list them all. The current king has only had up to three at once.
