"Rich" is a relative term. A poor person in the USA seems like a rich person to a homeless in Africa. With the gadgets we own these days would make us seem rich to people of the '50's. So, without the poor, rich can't exist as there's nothing to compare to.
But, if you mean that everyone would have enough to do what they want, that would depend on the needs and wants of the individuals. One person needs to be in a fansy Italian car in a 50,000 sq foot house over looking an ocean close to a city shopping at most expensive places. Others, they're just happy to be in shorts and T-shirts going to BBQ parties with friends drinking beer and watching a football game. But by some quirk of fate that everyone in this scenario got what they wished for. THen the very human nature of greed will kick in and they would want more or what the others have or something that no one has. Hence, it'll be a never-ending quest and desire.
Still, if by "rich" you meant rich in love. Then, such people are better adjusted because they can love themselves and able to love others, and people will be more forgiving and easier to get along with.
If "Love" on the other hand is just lust for someone. Then that would create jealousy and eventually hatred.
Still, there's "Rich" in knowledge that breeds sensibility and wisdom. But this cannot function alone because those with no love can destroy the world using this while those with love can enhance the good things.
Hence, the ultimately the most productive and ideal richness would be to combine "rich" in knowledge with "rich" in all-incompassing love because such combo would turn the world into a really beautiful place called the utopia.

Some people could have a " Gozillion " dollars, a gold - plated bathroom, a hot - tub full of champagne ( Hot champagne ? I don't think that would be all that great..... ) Sexy supemodels in their bedroom, or Chippendale dancers in their bedroom, & they'd still be miserable. A person can be a janitor or garbage man or a waitress, busboy, whatever, & they can go home from a mediocre job to a loving family, nice neighbors & BINGO ! they're among the happiest & most fortunate people on God's / Yahweh's / Allah's green Earth. Being " RICH " doesn't count for diddly if you're unhappy. Even if one HAS wealth & fame, one wants more.
If I was rich, it'd be nice, yeah, but I don't cry myself to sleep at night or think I'm a failure because I'm not wealthy & swimming in money & riches. As long as I can buy beer..... ;~}
PERSPECTIVE !!

IF everyone were rich then no one would be rich! Money would be too inflated to tell the difference. There really has to be diff. economical classes. IMO

There would be a huge inflation and we wouldn't be rich anymore because everything would cost too much.

Inflation. Not good for the economy.
You will have no cab drivers or nannies or waiters or policemen because everybody's too rich to work!

We are already rich, unfortunately we tend to only measure our riches on a monetary level.

If you mean rich like a chocolate cake is rich, then cannibalism would skyrocket.
