There were a number of rich man in The Bible. The rich lawyer, the rich kings, even Abraham was rich. However, the one that most always comes to mind when I think of a rich man would be Solomon. God stated to Solomon that he would give him anything he desired. Solomon asked for wisdom to rule His people, God said, that because he asked for the welfare of others, and asked nothing for himself, God give him great wisdom, and great riches.

Answer:

"The rich young man" usually refers to the young man who came to Jesus and asked "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?"

-- Matthew 19:16-24.

This young man thought he had done enough to enter heaven so Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

The rich young man failed to see his need for a saviour and went away.

Another Answer:

Perhaps the most famous parable of the 'Rich Man and Lazarus told in Luke 16:19-31. Read carefully one realizes that Jesus was speaking to the Jews via the Pharisees about the time of the Gentiles (Beggar) that will soon begin. See related link for more details:
