There was no Greek empire to get wealthy. The Greek world comprised hundreds of independent city-states spread from Masilia (now Marseilles) around the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea littoral - Italy, Sicily, mainland Greece, Asia Minor, the Aegean islands and North Africa.
Addition
Although there was no Greek empire as such, the Athenian empire might be counted instead. It grew wealthy through its domination of the Delian League and the naval power it boasted in the Mediterranean. However, Greece as a whole was not united until the early 1800s; to that time, it a grouping of separate states or part of a larger empire besides itself.
What was the question
While there was a temporary Athenian empire, it comprised a fraction of the Greek city-states which were around the Aegean Sea. So it was not a Greek empire - it was the Athenian-dominated anti-Persian league. And the Greece of 1500 years later was certainly not an empire.
