They invented an entire theology that allows ignoring that.
"Prosperity theology views the Bible as a contract covenant between God and humans: if humans have faith in God, God will deliver security and prosperity"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology
I really liked it when someone changed that page to the Prosperity Heresy.
But variations of you must be a good person if you're financially blessed is really a popular belief among materialistic status seeking people in the US.
It gets really ugly because the corollary is that if you're in poverty it must be because you are sinful and we rich people can blame the poor person for their poverty.
