Listen to some people on the streets?

Points to note

1. When Jesus needed to get to the other side of the sea of Galilee, he didn't buy a boat with all mod cons (modern conveniences to those that don't know) made of the most expensive materials and laid out with the finest bedding, lavish food and drink etc which is what we see in the sea going vessels of the super rich which are in reality status symbols. he could have but he didn't.

2. When Jesus Christ wanted to go to Jerusalem, he didn't buy a golden chariot pulled by 12 white horses and dress in robes fit for a king. He didn't have a horde of well armed body guards and courtiers to attend to his every want and whim.

The simple reason is if Jesus had portrayed himself in the earthly ways of a King i.e. untold riches, expense clothes etc his message would have been limited and very soon corrupted. It would have been the wrong kind of message and encourage humans greed rather than human salvation.
The vast majority of us on earth would not understand that he wants he us build up our riches in heaven rather than on earth.

Several people feel that it is ok for a human on earth under the auspices of religion to acquire or control vast wealth. Is this really right when there are members of your congregation who are hungry and suffering?
They follow you blindly and listen to your promises that yes their own wealth is coming, they are being misled.
You should teach us to strive for heavenly perfection not earthly accumulation of wealth.

..just my humble opinion

That's the whole purpose of getting into the ministry? It's every pastors dream to reach that level of wealth. 99% of their incentive is getting free money! You won't excel in the ministry if you don't have the qualities of a Hustler

Yes for ministry and fame. Even a pop who travel all over the country do not have any.
