<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">wealthiest</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('rich' can be similar in meaning to 'wealthy')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for richest that I've seen before include "Least likely to be a beggar" , "Most well-off" , "extremely ornate" , "Most productive" , "Most affluent and opulent" .)
