How it's used
While literally meaning to have money, this is the standard way to describe someone as wealthy or affluent. It is frequently used with intensifiers like 好 or 咁 to emphasize the extent of someone's wealth. It functions as an adjective, so it can be used directly before a noun, such as 有錢人 for a rich person.
Examples
His family is very wealthy, he doesn't even need to work.
Do you really think being rich automatically means you're happy?
