Christopher Columbus was born not rich but not poor, he later became rich after his voyages but lost his job and became poor, I wouldn't say poor though, just not rich.

He may not of die with all the riches sure as gold and so but he did die rich with his intelligent because he truly did rediscover many Caribbean countries.

Hence the reason you may leave or someone can rub you of your money but one can never rub you of your knowledge.

After Christopher Columbus came to the Americas and took Indian slaves back to Spain, I imagine he got I little higher up into the (kind of) wealthy range, b/c Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand sent him back. But after the second voyage, he became overly greedy and lost everything.

Historians now believe that he was. All indications are that he was from a wealthy Spanish family that were political rivals of the king so he made up the persona of Columbus. He only wrote in Spanish and was married to a Spanish noble woman. Neither of those would have happened if he hadn't been wealthy.

No. He died unhappy, sick, and in disgrace. The Spanish crown never recognized what he found nor did they pay him what he was owed.
