The definition of "rich" is "having a great deal of money or assets; wealthy." Seems like Rich == Wealth as far as I can tell. There is definitely a difference between well-off and wealthy, though.
- alistairSH 6y agoWhile not a dictionary definition, I've seen "the wealthy" described as the subset of "the rich" where their money is self-sustaining (passive income that spans generations). By most definitions, many of us on HN are rich, but few of us are wealthy. Most of us still have a day job and rely on that salary to pay bills and save for retirement.
