The truth is people have different opinions on what 'being rich' means.
There are some people who think that having a 'rich' family life or love life is the most valuable thing someone could possess. These people are generally known as 'the poor'.
Here's a quick guide to figuring out whether you are more 'Ritchie Rich' or just 'Modestly-wealthy Morris'.
How to tell if you're rich As far as being rich goes, the goalposts aren't very clear.
One survey suggests that most people are consider anyone who makes twice as much money as they do to be rich. So, for someone who is making $100k, being rich would entail making $200k.
If you ask the taxman, rich people are those of us who have more than $1 million, although according to the US Federal Reserve, you are in the top 5% of Americans if you are worth over $1.4 million.
Am I rich or not?
If you're dying to know whether you are actually considered rich or not, then the chances are you are probably rich.
But if that isn't evidence enough for you, why not try asking yourself the following questions:

But if that isn't evidence enough for you, why not try asking yourself the following questions:
- Do you have a butler/private nurse/pool boy/door attendant?
- Do you eat Foie Gras?
- Do you host charity fund-raising soirées for 'saving Africa'?
- Do you often frequent auction houses?
- Have you had more then one nose job?
- Does your house have a gated driveway?
- Do you commonly use your middle initial when presenting yourself?
- Do you have multiple Swiss bank accounts?
- Do you own a pair of driving gloves?
- Do you regularly wear white trousers or a sweatshirt draped over your shoulders?
