If you are taking a poll...
For starters on what wealth might mean economically, it might be useful
to understand the cost of living and purchasing power by country
<https://www.worlddata.info/cost-of-living.php>. Is 'wealthy' some
factor based on a ratio of income over cost of living?
I don't know how you would measure cultural wealth and how colonialism
played a part in its accumulation via subjugation. There must be other
categories of wealth; spiritual wealth, artistic wealth, land ownership,
public wealth, private wealth, etc.. How would native Americans and
other indigenous population discuss the concept?
At the excessive levels of the ultra-rich (Besos and co), wealth is for
giving away for perhaps some altruistic purpose. Cynically, some might
see this as a way for making amends for all the transgressions committed
on the way?
More commonly wealth is accumulated to help the next generation in one's
family regardless of culture and purchasing power?

Tangenting off of the Great Man discussion, I would like to solicit a

Each of our Great (Wo)Men on the snark/not-snark list share one
thing in
common, Wealth. I'd be interested to hear others riff a little
more on
their taxonomies of "what is Wealth for?"
