For me, wealth is all about freedom. Freedom to do what you want to do, without external factors, people or situations altering your chosen actions.
This means having time that is not controlled by anyone else and having money to “rearrange” any situation that comes up which isn’t to your liking.
Yes, being surrounded by family and friends is great, and it is something a wealthy person may choose do do with their time, but it isn’t necessarily wealth in and of itself.
