Are you
waiting for GODOT?
My Prefix you must pass if you want to get rich
As others have stated, this is GO.
My Infix is a base, movable or in place
A fixed or movable ODOmeter? Could also be DO, the fixed or movable base of the solfège scale.
My Suffix is a plant, a stand, a time.
T(ea) plant, T(ea) stand, T(ea) time.
My whole will probably never come
Godot never does show up!

You got it! Although I had something else in mind for the infix. Basically, take PerpetualJ's reasoning for her infix and apply it to the actual infix, and it'll make sense

Partial answer:
So far i have:
GORV
My Prefix you must pass if you want to get rich
GO, you gotta pass it if you want 200$
My Infix is a base, movable or in place
RV, or a recreational vehicle, is a sort of a "base" that can move or be stationary. Or if this is incorrect, the infix is clearly this multifunctional movable base
My Suffix is a plant, a stand, a time.
Unsure
My whole will probably never come
Also unsure

@Cubemaster has already discovered the prefix, and I believe the answer could be:
My prefix you must pass if you want to get rich.
go: In Monopoly the board game, you have to pass GO to get $200.
My infix is a base, movable or in place.
Could be the letter a; it begins the alphabet (therefore it is the base), and it is present in base, movable, and place.
My suffix is a plant, a stand, a time.
I think this is most likely t as the letter is contained in all three; plant, stand, and time.
My whole will probably never come.
A goat will probably never come.

You got another answer! (But for reasons I didn't intend) The answers don't have anything to do with letter overlap across words.

Unfinished answer:
My Prefix you must pass if you want to get rich
GO field from Monopoly, as others stated
My Infix is a base, movable or in place
unsure
My Suffix is a plant, a stand, a time.
Tree (tree as a plant or wooden support, and three as a time)
My whole will probably never come
Go...tree - what I have so far. I Have a feeling that I don't know the word in question :) A name Godfrey comes to mind.
UPD: Oops, it's already done and dusted.
