Well maybe not directly but traits like Intelligence, Physical prowess etc etc could lead to someone having a higher chance of obtaining wealth that someone without

Wealth is related to genetics in the sense that when you've maximized your genetic potential or do not need to exert as much resources toward maintaining it, the next most beneficial use of your resources is personal wealth.

It's not the other way around in that excess wealth does not correlate with attempting to improve one's genetic worth.

Oh you mean white people = rich? That's also true but on a wide scale.
