Who is impressed by wealth?

Is wealth or rather the people who have wealth something that us ordinary mortals should be proud of or look up to? For many people it would appear not, especially in these days where wealth can be obtained easily if you win the lottery or inherit a fortune.

Winning the lottery can make some very wealthy overnight, but because they have money and in some cases this could be millions, this does not mean that they have class or style. The same thing goes for celebrity inheritors like Paris Hilton etc.

So if wealth has been earned by skill and hard work then yes, these people are worthy of praise and admiration, they show the rest of us that it is possible to get there through hard work.
