Rich has many meanings:

As an adjective

• having lots of money or financial assets; not a synonym to wealth, as that encompasses many other areas of life (example: a person can be wealthy not because he/she has lots of money, but he/she has lots of experience – that person is said to have a wealth of experience)
• possessing an abundance: "Alaska is rich in oil," "The novel was rich in detail."
• elaborate or luxurious: "That was a very rich banquet."
• being of good or strong qualities, flavours, or ingredients: "The chocolate cake was very rich."
• full, deep, mellow or vivid: "The painter used a very rich palette."
• very amusing or absurd (slang): "Give you $20? Yeah, that's rich."
• being a rich man, to be independent of work.
