Wealthy people back then could mount full scale invasions on countries. Arm thousands of men with weapons and armour, feed them and train them as their personal army. Today you get a fancy yacht for being rich, or several less fancy yachts.
"Rich people" were actually rich

Depends what you mean. Virtue as in living to be virtuous, however you define the idea of "virtuous," is more common than ever.
The old Roman concept of it as "virtus" is dead because society is feminine, virtus is a masculine concept.
