Meaning

富 centers on having more than enough resources: wealth, abundance, and the act of enriching something or someone.

富 combines 宀 (roof, house) with 畐, a vessel full of something, suggesting a house full of goods and therefore wealth.

Under a roof 宀 sits a full vessel 畐, like a storehouse packed with rice or treasure. That is wealth and abundance.

For フ, imagine a wealthy person saying 'Foo!' as they casually toss money around: Foo -> フ, and the house is full of riches.
