No one is denying that.

Solomon was not CONDEMNED for his wealth; but he WAS in trouble for making VERY bad decisions!

Solomon was a king and leader of a country. He was paid tribute by foreign lands, he was the one Israel’s taxes went to. He was going to have this wealth from taxes, political gifts, tributes from foreign lands under control or protection from Israel, under debt to Israel. He’d be getting that no matter what, and not all of it was for him personally, a part of it went to pay soldiers, to build buildings, infrastructure, acquire land or items like the special wood for the temple, to build the temple, etc.

Osteen and Solomon are apples/oranges comparison.
