To me the answer is No. Money alone doesn't make an individual rich. A lot of people go to work everyday, working for money and making more money, but fail to become richer. Ironically, many only grow deeper in debt.we have all heard stories of lottery winners who are instantly poor again. Also there are cases of real estate going into foreclosure instead of making homeowners richer. We all know of persons who have lost money investing in the stock market. Maybe you are one of those individuals who have lost money investing on cryptocurrency,Bitcoin to be precise. Even investing in gold(real money) can cost the investor money
For all intents and purposes, it is not business, estates, stocks, bitcoin (crypto currency) or money that makes a person rich. It is information, wisdom, knowledge that makes one wealthy.
Yes this is how a rich person can go to unknown city and without any starting capital gain richness again. Because the true value is in his mind and experience not in the money itself that he owned.
That is right from your point of view. People may define the term rich in different way like they do the term beauty. In my opinion, a person is rich if he has a great mind set.
As long as you do not have a mind set that suits the existing market situation and the changes taking place in it, you cannot be a rich guy because you would not be earning in the fluctuating market no matter how much money you have in your bank account.
