At what point do you consider someone admirably rich? At which point, if any, do you consider them immorally rich?
What does financial success look like to you? And is there a point where you feel people should be satisfied and stop being greedy?

Without wealth, there is no making tangible changes to help the under-priviliged. This is the world we built in. No wealth, no power, no significant shifts in economic disparities. Wealthy people decide the rules. You can't do much without getting stained yourself with the filthness of money.
But keeping it flow, attempting to level up others, investing it in uplifting suffering are all redeeming qualities that create little balance. Many people advance entire communities as they get wealthier. That is how it should be. If one doesn't foster that sense early on in their journey, there won't be much of it later on. They will lose track and disconnect from reality and no longer hold themselves responsible. Any form of power, even the way we look like, comes with a price. It creates inequality. The lack of admitting and rectifying those imbalances multiplies those inequalities even more.
At what point? At every point, really. A lower class US citizen still has to tend to it just the same, because in some ways they too are priviliged.
