I have an abundance of money and material possessions. I don't even know what to do with it all! Do you know anyone with lots of money? 
No I sure don't tell me more about it because it sounds awesome!
Well, the word "wealth", comes from the old English work "weal". Weal has origins from the Indo-European word stem. I guess there were some rich Europeans too!
I would love to be rich and will never experience it so tell me all you know about it
The definition of wealth is a normative process... so the pursuit of maximal wealth is seen as a conscious decision.  
How much does one have to have to be considered wealthy?
It's hard to say. Wealth is relative to wherever you are living. It can also include things like natural capital, land, energy resources and minerals!
