I think it’s a case of correlation not causation. To become truly wealthy in present day society involves stepping on a lot of people. To relish in being on top, desire more and more wealth and power even as you achieve levels that set you apart from the rest of society. I don’t think that mindset is the same as being a pedophile, but it’s the same as the mindset you would probably have to have to actually have sex with a child.
Power corrupts. It’s human nature to test out the limits of what you are allowed to do. No limits? Then the only limit is your conscience, if you have one.
Just on observational experience it appears that extreme wealth does indeed pervert the mind

But it does allow you to buy child slaves!
