I'm not sure what "justifying" wealth means in this context. What I mean is that many of the people who are rich worked hard to get rich, and therefore being rich, in this manner at least, shouldn't be regarded as something shameful. The fact that they deliberately set out to BE rich is a plus point in my opinion, not a negative point.
