Agree Mike - the basic measure is more of the individual than what money he may have.
It may be just chance, but most of the people I know who are either very wealthy or live a modest livestyle are generally modest in their achievements. One appears not to be wealthy person - had to ask for his CV and got a 50+ page edition in response (wish I never ever asked for that - embarassing!!). He had achieved more in his life - more than I ever will - and recieved high recognition for his work globally. He is a very modest man and totally honorable tho personal wealth is not on the top of his agenda/ambitions, but he is *very* rich in other ways on many different levels.
Sure.. there are plenty others who are "broke" - they can be anything, from total idiots to similar to the guy above.
