Jesus had a few things to say about wealth and poverty. Actually that was one of the focal points of His ministry.

Hint: He wasn't a big fan of material wealth. Jesus wouldn't have owned a yacht, even if he could afford one. The price of a yacht could feed a lot of people.

were all full of exhortations to give to the poor. Even the poorest person could probably find one person who was poorer, at least for that day.

I read nothing about giving to the rich except a few exhortations for women and other slaves to be obedient.
