There are different definitions of wealth!
One time a rich person in Athens, pupil of Great Socrates, approach his teacher and gave him money {Socrates was not working and did not have any money}.
Socrates asked what did pupil mean by that?
Pupil said: Dear Socrates, please accept this money to ease your life.
Socrates responded: But you know, I do not work and I will never be able to return this to you!
Pupil: Well, you need not return this!
Socrates: Well, my dear, you need it more than me! Keep it!
Well, Socrates did not want to offend his Pupil, but since he had minimize his requirements, his income could be minimal! Nature is supplying ably the necessary!
So, these philosophers were not considered wealthy, as far as money and property concerns, but they were rich and their wealth was the highest in issues that money can not buy! And they lived many years, They lived to be 80, 90 and more than 100 and died healthy!
