Net worth, traditionally.  Some wannabe's try to claim millionaire status because of gross cash flow in a year; but, it ain't what you make, it's what you keep that counts.

Do you mean wealthy as in have lots of money or have lots of things. People with lots of things usually are very poor. \n\nYou might want to read the Millionaire Next Door and then decide what do you really want. \n\nPerhaps your rich and just don't know it.

It could be a business term, when you look at the financial statements of a company, there are different sections, the balance sheet, the income statement, and within those you have the "net" income, and net worth of a company. \n\nThe net income is income after all expenses, giving you the true net, which generally would come over onto the balance sheet to form the net worth of the company. \n\nIt sounds more confusing than it is really, I would recommend taking a business class, or asking someone who you may know that has a business, if they can show you their balance sheets, as you are learning or curious how financial statements are prepared. \n(this info is private though, so some may not wish to share).\ngood luck.

I see the answer in the question, If you are rich,then you are keeping it all to yourself, laying up treasure on earth.If you gave the money to feed the hungry, house the homeless,pay doctors for the ill, then you would no longer be rich,in the earthly sense.

I'd have to say a man of value if I knew I would be able to live the rest of my life happy and content with what I have. A man of riches may have the wealth and the position of power, but money isn't everything and there is definitely certain things in life that the richest man could never afford.

Anyone can be wealthy? What planet do you live on? LOL... Apparently you have never been hit with disaster, been out of work for a long time, had large medical bills, had little opportunity for higher education, had to drop out of school to help support your family, etc. \n\nNot everyone has the chance to be wealthy. And if you are wealthy yourself, what are you doing to help those who have less?

Prosperity=wealth. What do you consider wealth? An abundance of great health for some, monetary gain for others, love of family and friends for many. It's a great idea to consider what it is that brings you the greatest joy and I'd think that THAT is the thing that makes you prosperous.

A rich man to me is not someone that is finacially wealthy!  A rich man is someone that can love me for me & we can just be happy together!

Yes, less than that often times. I've seen 1,2, and 3 year millionaires. All real estate related. But that's just a bias of certain types of business i'm involved with. Honestly, If you want to become a millionaire, I'm suggesting you find someone with make it happen power who already has a company, and you use that to jump start your product in the mass market. And for billionaire status, I'm suggesting that you go Big business. That means get a product that you could possibly collaborate with extremely large companies like Febreeze, or Tide, for example, with potential to stretch to all different sorts of companies in the field. Don't stop with one endeavor, Get many endeavors and delegate the responsibility to competant parties.

The question was not:  how many Americans earn more than $250,000 annually.  The question is:  what is the number of americans with at least $250,000 NET WORTH (simply defined, the value of one's assets minus one's liabilities).\n\nThe goverment measures statistics on net worth, not on individuals, but by households.  So according to this table (put out in 2000):\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/hhes/www/wealth/1998_2000/wlth00-4.html\n\nthe percentage of households with net worth between $250,000 and $499,000 is 10.1%.\n\nThe percentage of households with net worth at $500,000 or higher is 8.1%.\n\nAdding the percentages together, we get a total of 18.2%.\n\nAccording to the table, the total # of households (in THOUSANDS) is 104,644.  Meaning 104,644 times 1000, or 104,644,000 total households.\n\nFinally, multiply 104,644,000 times .182 =  19,045,208 households.\n\n\nAnswer (in 2000 U.S. Census figures):  19,045,208 households have a net worth equal to or greater than $250,000.

Success almost always doesn't have to do with money.  Success comes from what you personally have done with your life.  Those that have stuck to their moral and value system no matter what others say and are good people because it is the right thing to do are successful in life.

The only true way to be a rich person is to be content!! If one is never content with what the have, no matter how much they make, they can never beome a rich person but a greedy person!\n\nRemember, the man who couldn't stop complaining that he didn't have any shoes until he saw another man with no feet!!
