I think "the rich" describes those who make more than $500,000 per year and "the wealthy" describes those who make more than 50 million per year. I loved it when Chris Rock described the difference between the rich and the wealthy. He said if Bill Gates woke up with Oprah Winfrey's money, he'd jump out the window of a tall skyscraper and slash his own throat on the way down.
