Honestly I never saw the appeal in this.
I call it the Disney princess effect - most of them are rich enough to not work, but they end up lost and drafted into things that are bigger than themselves. They end up working harder than anyone.
Maybe a rich person is someone who has enough that their priority is not personal wealth.
Also under that definition, developing nations are richer than developed nations, as developed nations have earlier retirement ages, shorter working hours, less debt, and more financial security.
