 alot of wealth is timing.
luck, and timing. 

dont assume a persons opinion is more valuable or insightful because they have money.

 Why should i prove you something so basic? 

People who provide value get weath, and to provide value you have to have knowlodge..

 Oddly people are also pretty tolerant of someone’s manipulative or exploitative tendencies if they’re wealthy.

 I'm not sure if you've ever listened to the cognitive scientist John Vervaeke, but I'm always struck by his level-headed and non-judgmental description of how humans can be duplicitous.

“The very things that make you so intelligently adaptive simultaneously make you vulnerable to self-deceptive, self-destructive behavior.”

It’s not an endorsement, or an excuse, it’s a warning.

That quote came from his Awakening From the Meaning Crisis lecture series which @mark did a wonderful job summarizing here
