Yeah, I think Francisco's speech about money specifically and explicitly stated that money is not the measure of a man unless he has earned it honestly. I don't remember the exact wording, but that was the gist of it.

The article makes the appropriate point that Rand was pro free market producer, not pro wealthy. In other words, wealth cannot be defended without an analysis of how that wealth was obtained.
