The story
What it's about
The Poor, Rich Family is a story of love, romance, twists of fate, and countless amusing situations involving two families with nothing in common—yet who are now forced to live under the same roof. On one side are the millionaire Ruizpalacios family; on the other, the Mendonças, a classic working-class family.

When Miguel Angel Ruizpalacios is unjustly accused of fraud by his cousin, his family loses their entire fortune, leaving them on the streets. Their only option is to reside in a middle-class neighborhood called the Nopalera, in a home inhabited by the Menchaca family. These two very different families must learn to live with each other until Miguel Angel recovers his fortune and clears his name.
