Your logic or belief is that if God doesn't want anyone to be poor then why are some poor. Use the same lens to see that some are sinners and not glorifying God even though God wants otherwise. If God's will and want is automatic, Christ would not tell anyone to pray "Thy will be done in earth".
I said being rich is an undeserved favor from Him for a purpose. Its not the ultimate factor for your salvation.

I don't remember anyone saying being rich is an ultimate factor for salvation or even linking it with salvation. One can be healed without salvation, same way one can be rich or excel without salvation. They are different but are all God's wish for mankind.

What brand of Christianity? And what makes it perverted?

Going by your statement, it means that a poor christian is a sinner and only the rich christians are truly serving God the right way.

No, not at all. The two conditions are two kettles of fish as it were. The salvation of one's soul from sin and God's wrath is different from living in prosperity or comfortable abundant life. One can be poorer than beggar Lazarus and be saved and vice versa. However, it is God's will that we prosper and be in good health, whatever that means. God's will is not all about heaven, folks limit obedience and doing God's will to the extreme of going to heaven or hell. God wills the kingdom and days of heaven on earth.
