It is "how much" value you offer the world.
Take a school teacher and a football player. Obviously, a school teacher offers something more perceived as value. But only in front of 30 kids. A football player plays in front of 60,000 people in a live audience, and several more million televised audience. So he's bringing a larger scale. Thus the football player makes more wealth.
So the monetary value is measured not in perceived humanitarian worth, but in scale. And there are plenty of wealthy people of all races, geographies, religions.
