He wishes he were rich. or He wishes he was rich.

wish + would
This expresses annoyance with a person or situation and a desire for a situation to change, either now or in the future. This change could possibly occur, but we do not expect it to. It generally depends on action from some other person or thing.
You cannot use the same subject in both clauses:
I wish she would not take my things without permission.
