Rich = Justin Bieber
Wealthy = The DuPonts

Wealth is when you have houses, businesses and trust funds given to you from the previous generation

The way I look at it is "rich" is new money. "Wealth" is old money. A lot of rich people go broke. When you have wealth, its passed down from generation to generation, even if its something small, its something. I remember this dude I worked with, was 26, his granddad died and left him and his twin sister $500,000 each from the sale of his farm. His sister took the money, went to become a psychologist, bought a house, basically started her life off right He blew all his money and ended up on a path that led him to eventually working with me But that's neither here nor there. That's wealth.

Wealthy and Rich is different. I'll say I wanna be wealthy like 8 Million. I don't care to be rich like 50 Million or 100 Million. Only thing I wanna do is move out the country and do well for myself and future family.

Chris Paul is rich, Donald Sterling is wealthy

Basically and for the most part its broke people trying to play the semantics game which is funny as hell to me. They ain't wealthy they just rich and they probably go broke too. I'm trying to be wealthy they can have rich while same person not even on middle class yet smdh. Hating ass nikkas I tell ya. Next thing I know somebody will get stupid and say Oprah just rich she not wealthy.
