Wealth
Wealth from the old English word "weal", which means "well-being" or "
welfare". The term was originally an adjective to describe the possession of such qualities."Wealth" has come to mean an abundance of items of economic
value, or the state of controlling or possessing such items, and encompasses
money,
real estate and personal
property. In many countries wealth is also measured by reference to access to essential services such as
health care, or the possession of
crops and
livestock. An individual who is wealthy, affluent, or rich is someone who has accumulated substantial wealth relative to others in their society or reference group. In economics,
wealth refers to the value of
assets owned minus the value of liabilities owed at a point in time.
