I think Keith and you are both right. Most anyone, except perhaps an ascetic hermit, would want to be 'very rich', just depends on what kind of richness. I refused a couple of very real opportunities to become rich moneywise in favour of earning what some call 'cultural capital'. But I still chose to be rich in something. Rich in experience, in love, in music, in wisdom (or so I hope), in fulfillment. True riches, things one could never buy with money.
