Oh, Monica, that's a bit disingenuous.  With much money comes power.  Many of those who are in power will go to great lengths to preserve that power.  
In our society, as in many, one who is quite wealthy is insulated from disagreement and from the consequences of many bad actions.  The New Yorker has had a number of articles (and I can't recall them out of hand) about the various shady dealings of the Trump empire which often involve breaking the law.  It's curious to me that all of the supporters of Trump who shout so loudly about all of the terrible immigrants who are breaking the law by remaining here without authorization are not shouting at all about Trump who has violated the law in so many ways.  But that is just an aside.  The fact is that Trump's wealth has insulated him from negative consequences about much, including constant lying.
