I have a struggle with this because I was raised in a working-class (former mining) town and there was a lot of pride in living with less and rich people were seen in a way as weak, spoiled...wimpy, or worse.
I once dated the son of multi-millionaires, his parents owned a prominant newspaper. He seemed very down-to-earth and nonmaterialistic which impressed me, BUT he never worked a job in his life and chose not to since he didn't need to, AND the more time I spent with him, I realized he was very SPOILED! If he didn't get his way he would pout and pester like a child. I actually said to him finally, "Has anyone told you you're SPOILED?" and he just put on this cheeky smile like it was something cute about him (clearly he HAD been told that before). But it was then it dawned on me that here I had the chance to possibly marry REALLY rich and I didn't care enough about the money to deal with the b.s.
Well I guess my point finally is that people who get rich from earning their own money are often okay but those who are born into it are more often than not spoiled brats! And I generally don't like those people. And if that means I'm doomed to not become filthy rich then so be it.
