The car he drives does not indicate wealth, but to answer your question:
(Mark 10:23) Jesus looked around and said to his disciples," "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God." It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!"

My lame interpretation? Wealth does not preclude entry into heaven, but wealth breeds sin. It is rare to find a rich man who is not driven more by greed and worldly posessions than caring for his fellow man.
If a person gives his wealth to others he will find favor in the lord.

Now, I don't concider myself wealthy although most of the world would probably disagree with me. I do give to others through my church but not 10% as suggested many times in the bible.
My point? If we value a dollar (or a car, or other posession) more than our fellow man, we should probably re-evaluate our priorities if we plan to go to heaven.
I know I have a long way to go but I'm working on it.
