One doesn't have to be rich with money...
Infact, I bet that even Bill Gates, multi-billionare, isn't the "richest" person in the world. Sure, he has lots of money, but he may not have other things in life that make people "rich"...
For example, Love:
"to love and to be loved in return".
...Or friends, family, pets, music, faith, art, sports, food -
just whatever brings one happiness.... But happiness is only a temporary state, after a while it leaves, and one feels less "rich" in its absence.
To regain this happiness and sense of "richness", one would need to feel an inner-peace. One needs peace to realize that: yes, horrible things can happen and are happening in my life, even the world, but I accept that life is not perfect and am still grateful for what I do have that makes me happy.
Achieve this peace, and you've got joy: a combination of one's calmness and happiness. Joy is what lasts, not just plain happiness. Joy makes one the richest in the world....
You are happy and content.
Complete and utter joy.

i do no longer think of that i might...i recommend human beings say that money=potential yet i think of that's merely unrealistic. seem at invoice Gates, the richest guy interior the international, and George W Bush, the greatest guy interior the international. One has the dough yet would not have potential (interior the common experience - interior the digital international i'm useful he does), and the different has the international's greatest military at his command and isn't interior the billion greenback classification (neither is he the sharpest gadget interior the shed the two). all people is elected on how properly they convince the voters with their "honey-lined words" and character i.e. their air of secret...why do you think of maximum international leaders are attorneys? i'm a regulation pupil, so maybe i might have a raffle over invoice...LOL!!

that is a simple one,,,,,,,the love and caring that I see around me every single minute of every single day,,,,,,,,the children playing across the street,,,when they smile and wave to me, the dog when he comes running wagging his tail happy to see me,,helping the old woman next door bring in her groceries, and how she smiles when she sees me,,,watching the flowers growing in the garden , being able to smell the flowers,being able to paint beautiful pictures,and to hear the beautiful music of the world,,,,,,,and all it holds,,,that is what makes me the richest person in the world ,,,what makes me the richest in the universe,,,,is my seven beautiful grandcreatures, my three children and my parents,whom I still have~!!!! thank you for asking

besides the fact my name is Bill gates, I'd say following whatever mythology makes you happiest and having a strong work ethic to keep you rich enough in money and spirit so you can play hard after working hard all day. Which makes your life rich.
