I have known some preppers and I think there's a pretty clear line when it crosses into a paranoia, and begins consuming your life. A rich person building a panic room or even a very rich person buying an island is a different from somebody of humble means who eschews working, to live in the boondocks and stockpile ammo and food. But I don't think money itself is the divisor; a modestly wealthy person buying an island to escape Armageddon might also qualify.
