I didn't say that wealth made him wrong. I said that wealth (and fame as well) tends to make people sanctimonious.

Think of it as a paraphrase of Lord Acton's comment that "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely."

If you like wealthy, sanctimonious people, you would love Mayor Bloomberg, ruler of the Nanny State, who should be crowned King of Sanctimonious Politicians. (BTW, congestion doesn't seem to bother him any...)
