Job, Abraham and Moses

Three of the more exhalted figures in the Bible. Job was very wealthy before the calamity that God allowed, and was rewarded with twice as much as he had before when the dust settled. Abraham was to accumulate enormous wealth, and yet be counted as the one whose faith was counted to him as righteousness. The wealth of Moses is not really stated, near as I can recall, but there is absolutely no mention of him living a life of poverty. And nobody, other than Jesus himself, had as close a relationship with God than Moses.

Jesus revered them all -- despite their wealth.

What's going on?
