"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." ~Matthew 19:24
This line from the Bible suggests that it is very difficult for a rich person to get into heaven but it is not impossible. Why would this be? One reason may be that a rich man (or woman) may believe he is self-reliant and therefore does not need God. Another may be related to how the man became rich in the first place, whether it is through theft, corruption, deceit, etc. It is possible to earn great wealth honestly but it doesn't take a genius to know that much wealth is acquired dishonestly.
I personally find that handling or thinking about money is very stressful and can consume you. Money brings about a lot of different emotions, from greed to lust to covetousness and even to anxiety and worry.
