independently wealthy

Rich without working

Independently wealthy describes having enough personal wealth to live comfortably without needing to work for income.

The independence is from employment—your money sustains you on its own: She's independently wealthy and volunteers full-time.

The phrase often implies inherited money or investment returns rather than earned income.
