Rich to me has really nothing to do with money value.It's got to do with being 'Rich' in family,friends etc.

I know several wealthy people, one of which is a billionare...and they don't think of their wealth as i would percieve a million added to my bank account.
To give you an idea of their wealth, imagine your budget to waste at a casino after dinner....and i'm told her brother thought nothing of wasting a million pounds on roulette after his dinner before going off to do something else!!!

I'm rich in friends and family and you can't put a price on that.
Pity the billionaires at the moment one of whom has lost "billions" in the latest economic climate.

If you have enough to pay on your own for a lets say 4 months stay at a hospital and then to have some money left to survive, you could think of your self as rich.

This isn't about who's got what in the bank or whether anyone values money or not.
On TV, in the news, in the mags, there are the "rich and famous," the "rich and infamous"; then we have the "rich districts" where "rich parents" send their kids to top ranked schools and all that. I was just curious to see what you think is "rich".
In western society, it's all about money. No need to really beat around the bush, imo. Even if you're not all about money, then there's always someone who's after what you have and even what you don't have (get you to go into debt to buy a,b,c). That's cannibalism.. oops.. sorry capitalism.

It's obviously all relative - the more we have the less we perceive we have.
To me I'd now consider 100 million dollars 'rich' but if I had 100 million I'd probably consider 500 million rich.
I guess you have to be a billionaire these days to be REALLY rich.
To feel relatively secure now I guess I'd want at least 10 million dollars in liquid assets.
Most people seem to have not answered your question quantitatively; I have and I hope it helps.
What about you?
I've shownou mine - now you show me your's!

I have more than several of the numbers and far less than others in your poll. I thought I was rich a few years ago, then the stock market adjusted my attitude and net worth! Now I consider myself just well off. Hell I am comfortable where I am at. Mostly it is a state of mind and how important money and things are to you. I have never worried about material 'things'. I was very poor once and I was richer than I am now. I was happy in both cases. I sleep well at night!

Scubadiva: I've often wondered what people mean when they talk about "the rich" or wanting a "rich" man or woman. What's "rich" to you?
With these numbers, I mean total value of all assets. (If a person sold everything they own, paid all debt and had x amount left in cash).
I have a gut feeling that our respective ideas of "rich" varies a great deal and I just want to see whether what I'm thinking is true or not. Thanks guys.

Being surrounded by persons who really love you...That's the measure of all riches, truly

Just a thought to add on your comment. That amount would make you quite well off in Mississippi and one of the most poor in Beverly Hills California. So sometimes the amounts are still relative to location, lifestyle, and our attitudes.
