While Jesus was on earth as a Man He was not rich, in fact He tells us in Matthew 8:20, " Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

Jesus was born into a poor family (Mary and her husband, Joseph) were just plain folks who worked for a living. Jesus Himself was a carpenter until He began His ministry.

But Jesus was rich in heaven before He came to earth and He is rich now while He is back in Heaven, but of coarse His riches are not like earthly riches.

Jesus tells this parable after a man in the crowd asks Jesus to speak to his brother -- Luke 12:13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
