Usually in the future or the conditional
Wait until I become rich
Will you still love me if I become rich?

@ORIG “i become rich” feels like the present tense and sounds a bit unnatural by itself
“i will become rich” is much clearer/better to use when talking about the future
hope this helps!

If I can corner the market in copper, I will become rich
I will become rich easily if I maintain my focus
Yes, definitely different.
