Financial wealth is only bad if the person doesn't know how to handle it. Otherwise it's a great thing.
A guy here in brazil (
René Sena - Wikipédia) won the lottery and received R$52 Million (our currency), which is more than US$25 Million. He was paraplegic, around 50 y.o., but still "managed" to marry a beautiful women of about 25 y.o.
He bought a big farm, built a big house, hired a lot of security guys. After some years, he is assassined in a local bar by 2 guys in a motorcycle. Turns out that after some investigations the police found out that these guys were hired by his wife to kill him so she would take all his money.
This shows well that wealth can be a bad thing if you're not a good "life and money manager".
