Rich Victorians often maintained their wealth through a combination of inherited fortunes, savvy investments, and ownership of profitable businesses, particularly in industries like textiles, railroads, and coal mining. They also engaged in practices such as land ownership, which provided rental income, and utilized financial instruments like stocks and bonds to grow their capital. Additionally, the social and economic structures of the time, including limited taxation and favorable legal frameworks, allowed them to preserve and expand their wealth across generations.

The old houses of parliament in London were built in the middle ages but it had a fire,so it was demolished in 1834 and rebuilt from 1840-1870

no, they were more interested in colonizing them they were not interested in learning about other cultures but rather interested in imposing their culture, ideals, values on to others

The clothes of the lower classes were made of cotton. The Middle and Upper classes wore cotton clothes for everyday purposes and materials such as silks and satins from China and the Middle East, and furs from the Americas when dressing more formally. Generally speaking, the more wealthy population would wear formal garb more often, as clothes were used heavily to indicate status.

As I did not live then, I cannot know for certain. But from what I know and have read, it would have been cold, as you would not often have money for heating as it would be spent on food, etc. Secondly it would be dirty as poor people did not always have bathtubs or soap. Also, you would have gone hungry on a regular basis.

A good source for a window into Victorian times is the stories of Charles Dickens. He specialized in the plight of the poor and the powerless, the users and abusers, but always found enough kind and helpful people to make it all work, just as real life does.

One of the things that won't come through even the best writing is the smell within city limits. By Victorian time, the well to do were beginning to get indoor plumbing, but everyone else had to deal with outhouses (yes, even in the city) and chamber pots. Now, believe it or not, I've had to empty a few chamber pots in my day and they are not pleasant, they are not dainty; with no indoor plumbing, they are not emptied after just one use, they're used by the whole family and emptied a couple of times a day. In addition to such odors wafting down the streets, most transportation and trucking was done with the use of horses also going up and down the streets all day, leaving the evidence of their passing behind them. You can be sure that the streets in the better parts of town were kept far cleaner than the less well to do sections.

the sun never set on the british empire because britain had many colonies around the world.

The English settled in the New World for religious freedom because in England, they were persecuted if they believed in another religion.

Also, merchants wanted to become wealthy from trade.

Then, poor peasants thought they could start a new, better life in the New World by farming there.

Another reason, is resources like gold and spices.

Criminals could get out of jail if they want to! All they had to do was become an indentured servant, and that seemed like a great idea to them.

Aside from aristocrats who had inherited wealth sometimes going back centuries, a wealthy middle class formed. They were likely to be "new money" having acquired their fortunes recently, most likely through industrialization. They were factory owners or in professions like law and medicine. In many cases, since they did not have a background of wealth, they assumed the affectations of old monied families. Morally, they were either of the mindset that people like them deserved to rule over the poor, thus having little sympathy for the unfortunate or they were "do-gooders" involved in charity work aimed at helping the downtrodden.

It depends how you count it, and at what time in history.
