Benny,你好吗? 新年快乐! Please teach me how to say rich and poor in Mandarin?

I’m very rich.

He’s very poor.

Is there also a difference between rich and wealthy? And how do I say wealth, like a countries wealth or its value?

你好,Sara, 谢谢你,我祝你新年快乐:)

1.I am very rich = wǒ hěn fù yǒu 我很富有

2. He is very poor = tā hěn qióng 他很穷

Rich and wealthy are the same word in Chinese, the only thing is sometimes we say “tā yǒu hěn duō qián = He has lots of money” to indicate he is rich.

Value in Chinese is “jià zhí 价值”.
