$ do strange things to people indeed. I look at people like this (and there are plenty of them) and I honestly just cannot wrap my mind around it. There is no amount of money on this planet that would make me think I’m better than those who have less. I just don’t get it.

Money can warp and pollute the minds of those who are not focused on gratitude to God.

When my brother became a millionaire many times over, he became a different person. Money changed him - and not for the better. He had the same attitude as some other rich people: he was superior and others who had less were almost sub-human.

Well, he was broken in spirit by God due to his collapsing wealth, and now he is a changed man. Christ changed him.

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

Matthew 6:24
