I agree money and the desire for it isn't a good thing, however God gives as he pleases and it just so happens that some christians will have more money than others etc. God has blessed everyone with different talents etc, a footballer for example has recieved that blessing from God. He's therefore probably on serious money but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it may not be for everyone and myself included wouldn't really desire a footballers wage but as long as like other things, the money God has given you is used to his glory, to support others, to give back etc and not used for one's own selfish desire and earthly purpose then fair enough. Firstly, that's a lot lot easier said than done i should imagine with that sort of money, secondly we shouldn't judge others (not by any means saying anyone is) because we ourselves could well struggle with that much money. Finally, i once heard a clever point of being able to take your hands off material possesions, eg not holding on to them too tightly so your still able to focus 100% on God. I agree with what james said about money not being the problem, it's the desire for it.. that's when it gets dangerous but if God has given you money, we should use it to his glory and not our own desires.
