material wealth

Possessions and money

Material wealth is the accumulation of money, property, and possessions—tangible assets that can be measured and exchanged.

The phrase often appears in contrast to spiritual, emotional, or social riches: Material wealth means nothing without love.

Someone focused on material wealth prioritizes acquiring things over experiences or relationships.
