True wealth is a single empty space rather than accumulated possessions

Evidence

To be really rich, I believe, is to have one space. One big empty space. … I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. … Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. — Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, 493
