"The man who attempts to purchase the brains of his superiors to serve him, with his money replacing his judgment, ends up by becoming the victim of his inferiors. The men of intelligence desert him, but the cheats and the frauds come flocking to him, drawn by a law which he has not discovered: that no man may be smaller than his money." -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
The Stanford and Madoff scandals have revealed very publicly that whole lot of prominent Americans were smaller than their money.
