     1. That which makes one rich; an abundance of land, goods,
        money, or other property; wealth; opulence; affluence.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Riches do not consist in having more gold and
              silver, but in having more in proportion, than our
              neighbors.                            --Locke.
        [1913 Webster]
