to all the people saying that rich=wealthy, I looked it up on dictionary.com, They mean basically the same thing, but they are not the same.
For instance, Ron Artest is rich, he earned a lot of money in his NBA career so far. He had some pretty bad investments though, (rap album anyone?)
Where as Michael Jordan is wealthy, his name and investments are making him money AFTER his playing days/career finished. His name is making himmoney.
His brand is making him money. His investments are making him money (Wizards, Bobcats). What will Ron Artest do AFTER his career is done? We already know whatJordan is doing, Shaq is another player near Jordan's caliber of fame/recognizability. Shaq can put his name on something and he will have instantcustomers because of name recognition.
Do people want to buy into something that Ron Artest endorses after he has retired from the NBA? (I'm not picking on Artest, I'm using him as anexample) The guy that I can compare him to now is Dennis Rodman. What has he done? Is he rich or wealthy? what will Artest be 10 years from now?
