Look at the prohibitive taxes for those who are really successful. The tax raids, the complicated laws and bylaws, the hassles - they all make popularity a punishable offence.

Money is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.

It's not that I want money. It's the fun of making money and watching it grow.

Many people don't have the ability to be rich, because they're too lazy or they don't have the desire or the stick-to-itiveness. It's a talent. Some people have a talent for piano.
