what does class has to do with wealth??

They don't necessarily co-habit. Ask Donald Trump.

In England you can find a member of the landed gentry with a traceable well-respected family going back centuries, some to Tudor/Elizabethan times, but who very little dosh in the bank.
On the other hand you can walk into the City of London and find plenty of Hedge Fund or Private Equity people who shed-loads of dosh, yet not an ounce of class.
