Rich Person
Rich, Wealthy
noun
When you hold gold you are a rich person.
Do you remember the word お金? This is the 金 in that word. The reading for 持ち is the も you learned with 持つ. So, combine the かね of お金 and the 持ち and you have the reading of this word. Note that just like お金, you'll often see this with the honorific prefix お in front of it as well.
この辺は金持ちの家が多い。
There are lots of rich people's houses around here.
そこは金持ちが行くような学校だよ。
It's the kind of school where rich people would go to.
