wealth
Abundance of assets
Wealth is an abundance of valuable resources or possessions.
In its most concrete sense, wealth means money and property: She inherited great wealth from her uncle.
More broadly, wealth describes any plentiful supply: a wealth of experience, a wealth of information.
The wealthy are those who have accumulated substantial riches.
Wealth often carries implications of prosperity beyond mere sufficiency—not just having enough, but having more than enough.
