When considering antonyms for the word "wealthy," several words come to mind. Instead of wealthy, one could use poverty-stricken or destitute. Both of these words imply a significant lack of financial resources. Similarly, one could use the word impoverished, which suggests a state of extreme financial hardship. Alternatively, one could use words such as broke or penniless to describe someone who lacks the financial means to live comfortably. Where "wealthy" implies abundance and success, these antonyms paint a picture of hardship and struggle. It is important to note, however, that the opposite of wealth is not necessarily poverty. Sometimes, simplicity and contentment prove far more valuable than financial gain.
