That is a question based on an assumption that rich goes alone with money. Also the word money has a connotion of being happy.
The answer would depend on each person's defination of what rich is and what money means to them.
There is no true answer because we are all biased with our opinion of rich & money.
In my assumption rich is more related to feelings and happiness. I find richness more in relationships. In basic human joy and contentment.
I was rich in money when I was married. But I was poor when it came to love & affection. I was isolated becasue of the control that having money has over a person.
I am not single, by personal choice, and no money on earth will ever make me feel rich. I don't mind money or being rich, but I need the balance of love- acceptence-affection -trust-companionship to make being rich in money worth anything.
To answer your question. Richness can't be measured because it isn't an absolute.

For me, richness has nothing to do with money, wealth is having much money or possessions. . Being rich has to do with how I feel deep in my soul. I have known people who have a lot of money, yet they are so unhappy. All the money in the world can't make someone have peace in their soul. For me, the day I was able to honestly love myself is the day that I became rich. It is what I can take with me when I leave this earthly life.

No.
I view richness in terms of the value of the human being a living soul and that human being is worth much more than gold.
Self awareness is the most valuable commodity. When one has self awareness one is truly rich.

I think rich is someone or something that possesses great worth or value. Not just in terms of money.

Rich is having one cent more, then you can spend. If your are rich in other things, like education, wisdom, moral, religion or so, one hopes, you still have enough money to fulfill you immediate needs.

I consider rich to be great wisdom and knowledge of truth.

I would like to say that I measure my wealth by what I have accomplished, my children, faith, friendships, truth and beauty.
