Wealth has many measures. I pity the "poor" man trapped in his tin box, divorced from the real world and cosseted by carbon powered luxury. He may appear wealthy in terms of cash, but he is a pauper in spirit.
Besides which I have a nice car with air con and all that but I use it as little as possible because I prefer riding one of my bikes.
To return to your original point though; I do think drivers look down on cyclists from an assumed position of moral superiority, and I think a large part of that is the perception that they are better off because they drive a car. Fools.
