Sadly, that's often the case.

You're touching on my pet peeve. It seems that when a lot of folks achieve some degree of financial success they start to think their "expertise" extends to all facets of life. They are smug pricks and are incapable of containing their self adoration. They offer unsolicited advice on every subject imaginable.
There's a local (very wealthy) real estate developer who is so unbearable that I walk the other way when he approaches. He thinks his financial success imparts every manner of wisdom and virtue. He freely offers council to others on how, with focus and determination, they could be more like him.
I know a lot of doctors (and lawyers) who suffer the same affliction. Is wealth really incompatible with humility?
