How to unlock the Filthy Rich achievement in Defense Grid 2 - Definitive Guide
Feel free to do it on Easy.
I first built cannons blocking the top left and bottom right roads, and one in the middle of the rectangle.
After wave 2, I started upgrading them to yellow.
During wave 5, I started upgrading them to red.
During wave 13, I built 2 more cannons near the core housing and upgraded them to red.
During wave 18, I built one more cannon near the core housing and upgraded it to red.
I used the orbital laser during wave 20 to kill aliens from wave 19 and wave 20.
I had 5070 resources by the end. With each red cannon tower being worth 1050 resources, you can just sell these to make it to 10k.
This achievement should unlock at the score screen.
I have included a video below in case you want more help and guidance.
Here's a YouTube playlist made by JogandoEAndando with videos on how to beat EVERY mission on EVERY mode on NORMAL difficulty. I've used it from A to Z to beat the game (50hrs) and each guide is perfect. For some missions you'll end up with +30,000 resources remaining. Very nice work from him, congrats!

In the last moments of the wave when the final boss was in red I sold as many of the dormant turrets as possible, especially the red expensive ones. I ended up with way over the 10k amount
Resources are the currency in this game used to build towers. You get resources over time, by killing aliens and after certain waves. For this trophy, simply win the mission with 10,000 resources remaining. If you’re having difficulties then try playing a mission in training mode and on the easiest setting. This way, you’ll already start out with quite an amount of resources and you should be able to win the mission easily.
This is easier in the later chapters, but can also be easily done in the Grinder or Super Grinder game modes on any map they are available as they last so long you get a lot of resources over the course of the game. Practice mode also gives you so many resources that it makes this achievement a breeze.
To unlock the achievement you need to win a mission by having at least one core on the map after the last alien dies, and have 10,000 resources available. If you are close, you can sell unneeded towers and the resources from those will go towards the total needed for this achievement.
