Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or valuable material possessions. This includes the core meaning as held in the originating old English word weal, which is from an Indo-European word stem. An individual, community, region or country that possesses an abundance of such possessions or resources to the benefit of the common good is known as wealthy. This ebook consists of 10 wealthy Americans and how they achieved their wealth. They are Bill Gates, Charles Koch, Colonel Sanders, Jeff Bezos, Jim Walton, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Bloomberg, Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett. 'Wealth' refers to some accumulation of resources (net asset value), whether abundant or not. 'Richness' refers to an abundance of such resources (income or flow). A wealthy individual, community, or nation thus has more accumulated resources (capital) than a poor one. The opposite of wealth is destitution. The opposite of richness is poverty.
