Dirt poor. Filthy rich. I wonder where dirt rich fits on the scale. :-)

Dirt rich is untouched money. Collected for the sake of it. Filthy is what you get once you've touched it enough.

Are you making that up? Genuinely curious, as I'm agreed w/ parent you replied to on the "dirt poor / filthy rich" idioms.

Call it a (rare) creative whim!
