Everyone in Singapore (expats & locals) are generally speaking 'rich' compared to the rest of the world and the poverty thereof.
Otherwise, your question is a bit offensive and quite random. Who cares who is rich? Live your life, do your best and be happy with what you have.

That was my point. The OP said "expats were generally rich". I think there are many foreign nationals (expatriates) in Singapore who are not rich at all.
There are Singaporeans who are rich and those who are not. Same with expats.
