Wealth is not a virtue.
I've listed out the four virtues below, as well as their opposing vices. It would be a wise idea for you to go back to the original texts and do some more reading. There is a modern-language version of the Enchiridion available on Kindle for free, and it's a great introduction:

----The four virtues----
Wisdom (sophia) or prudence (phronêsis), which opposes the vice of folly or thoughtlessness (aphrosunê). Includes excellent deliberation, good calculation, quick-wittedness, good sense, a healthy sense of purpose and resourcefulness.
Honesty, justice, lawfulness, or integrity (dikaiosunê, sometimes ‘righteousness’), which opposes wrongdoing or injustice (adikia). Includes good-heartedness or benevolence, public service, and fair dealing.
Courage or fortitude (andreia, literally ‘manliness’), which opposes cowardice (deilia). Includes endurance, confidence, great-heartedness, brave-heartedness, and love of work.
Self-discipline or temperance (sôphrosunê, sometimes ‘discretion’), which opposes intemperance or excess (akolasia). Includes organization, orderliness, modesty, and self-control.
