The United States Treasury Department's Money[1]
Money was anything that was used for payment for goods or services in any given country or society. Money was used all over Earth. In America, the dollar was common, while in the other parts of the world, they used other types of money. Money was also used on other worlds in outer space.
Money, or the love of it rather, had been described as the "root of all evil," which were words written by the Apostle Paul in his First Epistle to Timothy.[2]

People who had money[]
On Earth, most people had money as it was a necessary thing for a person to possess, due to the planet's economy. Some had none or very little, and these were people that lived in poverty, whereas others had a lot, and might be best described as living with wealth. People like this were often called rich or tycoons.
Still, even some people that were wealthy, such as Bruce Wayne for instance; were known for their charity, often contributing financially to medical and scientific research, and aiding in world hunger.
Still, there were other wealthy individuals that were known for their greed, using their wealth and power for unethical business practices, that made life more difficult for those around them, even going as far as ruining the environment with things like pollution.J. Mortimer Hutchinson was one of many examples of people who conducted their business in that manner.
