Answer

When a rich person is rich, they know what they are spending and the way money can go away fast by spending it. When a rich person becomes poor, the rich person who just became poor is RICH IN KNOWLEDGE. Not money. So with that knowledge they can become rich once again. But suppose you give money to a poor person. Will they wisely spend it? No. They will waste it on the first thing that they see. So, when the poor person turns rich, he isn't ready and does not know how to spend the money wisely and then that money will be wasted and they will become poor once again. So to summarize this whole long paragraph I mean that the saying the rich person is richer when he becomes poor than when a poor person when he becomes rich means that the rich is richer in knowledge when he is poor. And that knowledge can get that rich person who became poor become rich once again. But if the poor person is rich, then they will waste all their money and become poor again because they do not have the knowledge on how to spend the money and stay rich.

Answer

A rich person who becomes poor learns many life lessons (becomes rich in knowledge) from that situation. A poor person who becomes rich, doesn't learn much about life in the process (remains poor in knowledge).

It's not a very good saying because it's not necessarily true. Most poor people who become rich, work very hard to accomplish it and learn a lot along the way. Many people who are rich are very knowledgeable about life; being rich does not equal ignorance.
