There have been varying interpretations of the two characters, but the
most common view of them is that Flintheart Glomgold is the
second-richest duck in the world. (Indeed, that's his whole reason for
having been invented and his main motivation for going after Scrooge.)

John D Rockerduck is "merely" a very very rich duck who lives in the
same city as Scrooge and thus competes with him. Perhaps Rockerduck is
the second-richest duck in Duckburg, but since that wouldn't affect his
motivation one bit, there's no point in speculating on that here.

You can read more on the differences between Glomgold and Rockerduck in
