What is Wealth?
You know that guy with the huge mansion, the 3 luxury cars, and the home theater? MAN, is he wealthy... or is he?
How do you measure wealth? Do you measure it by materialistic values or by family values and virtues? Do you measure it by how much cash you have in the bank or by the knowledge in your brain? Do you think that it cannot be measured because there is too much to take into account?

the quantification of power you have to make other people do for or give to you what you want.
He who has the gold makes the rules.
Why does gold have power over man? because man perceives gold has value and desires gold. this makes gold powerful over man, to make men do *anything* to get more of it, because they know that with it, they can make men do anything they want.

One could use intelectual wealth as an idea, though.

I think Huck meant for this to be more of a "thinking" question rather than a "Google wealth" question. I've reopened this for now. If you feel that I was wrong in doing so or that this topic is going nowhere feel free to reclose it.
I'm just a little kid.

Thank you.
In my opinion, wealth depends on your life situation. If you live in a FEMA trailer, wealth could be a house. If you already live in a house, the idea of living in one wouldn't seem all that wealthy.
If you have 3 Lambos, and a 56 bedroom mansion, but no aspirations, wealth could be something other than materials.
For me personally, wealth would be a washer/dryer that I don't have to put quarters into. I feel wealthy in that I value education, and not many teenagers these days understand it's value.
