Per your point, I think it was WC Fields who said that a rich man is someone who has more money than his wife's sister's husband.

"Wealth - any income that is at least one hundred dollars more a year than the income of one's wife's sister's husband."

- H. L. Mencken

Shoot, dude, rich is when your wife makes more than you and still cooks you cake for your birthday.
