mike69spain: What is rich?
Rich is having clean water and food to eat when others are starving and drinking polluted water.
In 'the west' you are nolonger rich if you are a millionaire; there are now 8.6 million people in the world with 'liquid assets of more than one million US dollars (i.e. financial ones not including property).
A few years ago in the UK to be considered 'rich' you had to be worth at least three or four million.... now I'd guess at least 15 to 20 million - and to be really rich you have to be a billionaire (i.e. the American definition of a thousand million and not the UK definition of a million million).
