i guess that depends on what you call wealthy.. but he was a famous man; also an author; plus a farmer; among other things.
George Washington was one of the wealthiest men in America...but not from a revenue (cash goods) standpoint but from his massive land holdings, including those "out west" (Ohio River region)

Washington was not considered very wealthy, more like upper-middle class. His supposed wealth would have been in his slaves that he could sell but chose not to. Washington refused to break up slave families for profit.

Yes, he was quite wealthy. He owned a large plantation which included a profitable whiskey distillery and many other properties.
He had about 25,000, but that was considered a lot back then

He painted rooms in his Mt. Vernon estate with various bright colors. Back then, the brighter and more unique the paint color, the much more wealthy you appeared to be.
