I suppose the term's relative, and depends on the value of the property you're sitting in, whilst pondering the concept, and definition of 'rich'.

I suppose to someone who lives in Notting Hill, like David Cameron, where a third of a million pounds would buy a pokey one bedroomed studio flat, if you're lucky, someone living in a big detached house on the Lancashire coast, valued at the same price of £1/3 million pounds, wouldn't be considered particularly rich.
The concept is all relative.
Luckily the people in Hyndburn are 'rich', in that they mostly have a good sense of humour.
