Morphology

loaded = load (semi-transparent) = load + ed

The 'rich' sense is a metaphorical extension (e.g., 'loaded with money'); the connection is inferable but slangy and not a direct literal derivation for all learners.

Etymology

Loaded meaning 'rich' comes from the image of being loaded with money — in other words 'full' of wealth. That's why if someone is called loaded, it means they have a lot of money.
