Eh, there are levels.

  1. Rich enough that you can fill your cart at the grocery store without agonizing over whether you can pay for it.
  2. Rich enough to afford a mortgage.
  3. Rich enough to have a yacht.
  4. Rich enough to buy your own island.

Some people wouldn't call the first two "rich".

I'd say richness is found between 2 and 3

Yeah, probably. It's a little tempting to say that if you can't afford a yacht, you're not actually rich. That might be too rigid as a divider, IDK.

Yacht are way too expensive. Imo if you can afford a bungalow and more than one SUV/Jeep, you're rich.
