Many people respect the Bible for its religious significance. However, the Bible offers more than religious guidance. It has practical advice for everyday living. The Bible gives us laws, principles, and good advice to help us live better lives which even if you are not a religious person you can benefit from its wisdom.
Some bible principles deal with family life, work, money relationships, hygiene, sickness, and disease. The Bible does not promote an unbalanced view of money in which money holds a promenade position in life, however, Abraham, David, and Job are 3 of many faithful but wealthy servants of God mentioned in the Bible
(As resource from http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/how-rich-was-solomon.html puts it this way)
Shortly after Solomon became king the Eternal appeared to him in a dream and offered to give him ANYTHING (1Kings 3:5), which included being rich as were most kings on the earth. He requested, however, “an understanding heart” (verse 9) so that he could fulfill his responsibilities as king over all of Israel. God’s response to his selfless request was amazing and unique.
I will do what you (Solomon) have asked. I will give you more wisdom and understanding than anyone has ever had before or will ever have again. 13 I will also give you what you have not asked for: all your life you will have wealth (be rich!) and honor, more than that of any other king. (1Kings 3:10 – 13)
God not only promised to make Solomon the wisest man ever but also to make him uniquely RICH. God made Solomon the wisest human who would ever live and most likely the richest. With such a gift, the king was inspired by Go to write down what he understood and pass it on to others for their benefit. The result of his efforts was the Book of Proverbs, where he wrote concerning being rich and its true place in life, and other life lessons.
The name of WHWH called the tetragrammaton or in English Jehovah means he causes to become anything to fulfill his purposes.
Proverbs 3:5-7 says 5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And do not rely* on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him,g. And he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not become wise in your own eyes.
The Medici saw patterns that they could not explain, which was passed on from one generation to the next which was written in “The Laws of Success” however, at the time “The Laws of Success” was written science had yet to discover how these invisible laws of the universe worked.

For example, Neil Degrasse Tyson of the Hayden Planetarium who puts it this way ”The universe is knowable, and one does not need to appeal to mythical, magical forces to account for things.
Even if you can’t explain it does not mean it is being driven by mythical, magical forces. It is being driven by physical that we know (as scientists) and you have YET to understand. “
