There are a lot of rich people that aren't necessarily good looking but are mistaken to be just because they have good hair, skin, teeth and clothes. All of which could be bought. But if you try to picture them with bad hair, ugly skin, crooked teeth and shabby clothes that's when you'd realize that they're not attractive after all.

So I think being rich and ugly is a bigger mortal sin 'coz you have the means to improve what can be improved (Si Manny Pacquiao lang talaga yung hopeless case). You can't buy taste/personal style/legacy that's why being "nouveau rich" is often used as a derogatory term. Taste is something that you are either born with or acquired over a long period of time. That's why there are more "rich and baduy" than "rich and ugly".
