> our definitions of rich appear not match at all

This is why discussions regarding MMM are unnecessarily controversial. While I can sympathize with and appreciate your view of "rich," I don't think that the typical usage of the word is in agreement with you. You're waxing philosophical here, and even if I might agree with you on this definition (I do) this just doesn't chime with the everyday usage of "rich."

I think an article like this much more closely captures what is normally meant by a word like rich, at least in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_upper_class
