Yes, but "rich", especially from a sociological/psychological POV, is
a purely relative concept. And there is no levelling towards a shared
ceiling, since no matter how much the resources available may
increase, we have not limitations in increasing in our desires. Which
is a good thing, basically.

At most, wealth is going to become increasingly more symbolic in
nature, as it has already done for centuries now.
