Adjective. Used to describe someone who doesn't have a job but still, somehow, manages to stay sharp. This often leads to one not being able pay their rent due to all of their money being spent.
One can often identify someone who is hood rich by their quarter tank of gas in their new E-class (whilst still believing that they will ride) and their gator boots with a pimped out Gucci suit.
Typically, one who is hood rich will preach their hood richness, despite having everything in their momma's name.

HOOD RICH: Contrary to Popular Belief, Hood Rich is someone who is financially established in the middle class bracket but still surround their life style around less fortunate people. Example: Even though O Boy has a nice job as a Store Manager at WalMart, he still live in the Ghetto with his people. Hood Rich is living or surrounding yourself with things and people less fortunate than a Middle Class lifestyle, PERIOD.
Even though Ol Boy has a nice job as a Store Manager at Walmart, he is Hood Rich because he still live in the Ghetto with his people.

1. Hood Rich is sacrifing things you NEED in order to afford/or at least look like you can afford things you WANT. Typical of lower-income society.
2. Projecting an image of success or power that you really have not attained by showing off material goods such as cars or houses in an effort to impress those around you. In the end...in the 'real world' you're still a joke.

1. Driving an $80k Benz, but still living at home with your parents instead of buying your own house or renting your own apartment, that's hood rich.
2. Hood Rich is driving a $100k Benz, living in a million dollar house but still having the majority of society look down on you.
