He was born rich, the worm only took a few IQ points off the top
I don't subscribe to the idea that wealth has anything to do with intelligence or lack thereof.
Wealth is just an insulator.
It does make you evil, though. A few million dollars is like the One Ring, whispering in your ear every minute of every day.
People like that, who almost universally profess Christian faith, should be attentive to the words of the early Church fathers on the intrinsically corrupting nature of wealth:
"The rich are in possession of the goods of the poor, even if they have acquired them honestly or inherited them legally."
— John Chrysostom
"You are not making a gift of your possession to the poor person. You are handing over to him what is his."
— Ambrose of Milan
"The property of the wealthy holds them in chains [...] which shackle their courage and choke their faith and hamper their judgment and throttle their souls. They think of themselves as owners, whereas it is they rather who are owned: enslaved as they are to their own property, they are not the masters of their money but its slaves."
—Cyprian
And for a direct Bible passage, it's hard to be more succinct than James.
That doesn't sound like 'Murican Jesus. Must be communism. /s
