I think you are taking the title literally. The OP is making an analogy of being rich - will try to throw money at every problem. If someone is short of money, he will deal with whatever he can get for cheap.
This has nothing to do with how much money a person has! This is yet another reason why many CEOs fail -- throwing VC's money at areas they shouldnt!
The original point in its entirely is absurd. Most are destined to fail, period. They come in all shapes and sizes, states of wealth, and food allergies.
