Wealth $ Riches

There is a difference between being rich and being wealthy.

Wealthy people know how to make money while rich people just have money. The difference between the 2 is knowledge.
Being wealthy means having money and many things whereas being rich refers to having money. There lots of 'get- rich -quick' schemes but there are no 'get- wealthy -quick' schemes especially in jackpots and bets in casinos just: they get you rich but not wealthy.

Contradictions.

In a different context.
>A rich person in Kenya would be considered wealthy in Zimbambwe. What many rich people are really after is becoming wealthy.

>A poor person can live a rich life, full of family, music, art, travel and love. That same person would not be considered wealthy.

In most cases riches are measured using the dollar $ currency. There are Dollar-Billionaires, Dollar-Multi Millionaires and Dollar-Millionaires.
