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.
For me, being rich is a person who has a lot of money that can fulfill both his needs and wants, therefore it is a yes. But if you want to earn money in order to become rich you do not really need money at all. I do agree that the wisdom, knowledge, and passion is the thing you needed in order to be rich. Without money you will not be called rich. If you want to be rich you don't need money at all. Knowledge, wisdom, and passion is the key to help you earn money and become a rich person.
