    One in seven multimillionaires or billionaires is worried their wealth could be depriving their children of drive and ambition, says a study which affords a rare glimpse into the minds of the ultra-rich.

    Lack of Religion, yep, nail on the head there...

    It is impossible to calculate the wealth of the Roman Catholic Church. In truth, the church itself likely could not answer that question, even if it wished to.

    Its investments and spending are kept secret. Its real estate and art have not been properly evaluated, since the church would never sell them.

    There is no doubt, however, that between the church’s priceless art, land, gold and investments across the globe, it is one of the wealthiest institutions on Earth.

    And the CofE is not doing so badly, best part of £4 billion in the bank, huge landowner ...

    To properly communicate Christ's message of poverty and humility you need a hugely weathly and authoritarian organisation. Stands to reason.
