Ghetto Rich 

When a lazy, non-working, baby-hatchery mother gets Government money (welfare, Social Security, HUD, etc.) because she produces so many children.

Where did LaNeesha get the money for that new weave, those gold rims on her Pinto, and those designer sunglasses?

"Didn't you hear? All of her baby daddies were killed pulling that home invasion upstate and now she gets Social Security for her kids."

All eight of them?!?!

"Yup. She's ghetto rich."

Ghetto Rich 

When you work so much you don't have time to spend all the money you have accumulated.

Being Ghetto Rich is nice but when you don't have enough time to spend the money it sucks!!

Ghetto Rich 

When a person of low financial ability, usually due to poor self control, laziness and/or all out pure stupidity, comes into large sum of money (Example: "Income tax refund, accident settlement, inheritance, etc.") and lives like a King/Queen for a short period of time. Spending the money on crap they do not need nor can normally afford, instead of saving the money or paying of debts like a responsible adult would do.

This term is most used to define those who live in the "Ghetto" or otherwise known as the poor area of town. The people most referred to by this term are the following: 1. Mothers who have 3+ children with ADD (All Different Daddies) who live off child support and the government welfare system, drug addicts, alcoholics , etc.

Damn girl friend, your ghetto rich for a minute. (misuse of the word "your" was intentional.)

That b*tch got his settlement from that accident. He Ghetto Rich now and be broke as a b*tch next week.
