Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions or the control of such assets. The word wealth is derived from the old English wela, which is from an Indo-European word stem. An individual, community, region or country that possesses an abundance of such possessions or resources is known as wealthy.

The concept of wealth is of significance in all areas of economics, especially development economics, yet the meaning of wealth is context-dependent and there is no universally agreed upon definition. Various definitions and concepts of wealth have been asserted by various individuals and in different contexts. Defining wealth can be a normative process with various ethical implications, since often wealth maximization is seen as a goal or is thought to be a normative principle of its own.

Although precise data is not available, the total household wealth in the world has been estimated at $125 trillion in year 2000. 90% of this wealth is held by people in North America, Europe, and high-income Asian countries, and 1% of adults are estimated to hold 40% of world wealth, a number which falls to 32% when adjusted for purchasing power parity.

What should a wealthy person expecting jail do with their assets?
Q. Let's say that a wealthy person is charged with a crime and expects to do jail time (years). What do they do with all of their money and possessions while they are in jail? It doesn't make sense to have a Ferrari sitting in a garage for 5 years. Do they liquidate and put the money into an account of some sort?

A. I'd sell all hard assets like homes, cars, furnishings, electronics, clothing, etc. Then I'd buy a diversified portfolio of mutual funds invested in stocks and bonds. I wouldn't hold onto individual stocks and bonds as I assume the perp would not be able to trade them while behind bars. Better to have an investment professional (like a mutual fund manager) handle the buying and selling while in the slammer. They also may want to buy a CD which matches the sentence so that the perp would have a nice stash of cash at hand when they walk out. I would start with www.troweprice.com as they have a wide variety of funds (stocks and bonds) to invest in. One should also notify any financial institution used of their situation so they know that… [cont.]

A. Mostly from printed product and real estate holdings. The rank and file followers do not understand that this is a vast and hidden empire. They push for religious freedom to further collapse the internal structures of various areas. This is group is considered a NWO pawn by some people. The link below gives the corporate name to 'some' of the US holdings. Note: DBA means "Doing Business As". DBA is legal term related to the name a business uses.

Why should the wealthy invest their money in stocks if the govt is going to raise their taxes? Patriotism?
Q. We already have the 2nd highest (after Japan) corporate "income" tax in the world. Rich people don't get and stay wealthy by idly standing by and letting greedy spendthrift politicians loot their bank accounts to get money for earmarks. Won't the capital investment in the US and its businesses shrink drastically if they think a big tax hike is coming?

A. Any investor with good sense is going to take all his invesments away from the stock and commodities markets and re-invest that money in T-Bonds and T-bills, because we all know that government borrowing is going to soar and the interest rates for borrowing will go through the roof like they did with Jimmy Carter. If you want to bash McCain about George Bush, you have to consider that Obama will be a third term for Jimmy carter.
