Why do rich people struggle to be humble?

Answered in 1 source

Rich people often struggle to be humble due to a false sense of security in their material wealth or self-righteousness.

The struggle for humility among those who are materially wealthy or spiritually prideful stems from the tendency to place trust in their own resources and achievements. Proverbs 18:23 points out that the rich often respond harshly because they feel in control and self-sufficient. This mirrors the attitude of the Laodicean church, which thought it was rich and increased with goods but was spiritually poor and blind (Revelation 3:17). Such complacency can lead to a false sense of worthiness before God, which inhibits a proper acknowledgment of one's need for grace and mercy. In contrast, those who recognize their spiritual deficiency, regardless of material wealth, are positioned to experience God's transformative grace.
