You misspelled "capitalist," turbo.
Equating "greater" human beings in the context of Nietzsche's thought with those who have money (even if they "made" it themselves) is misguided. To be successful in business one must: be agreeable, take orders or at least obey socially constructed norms without fail, etc, etc. "Some think they should reach for more," yes, including rich and poor individuals, in many different ways, not simply in terms of money. Certainly Nietzsche didn't do that.
Servants are of course valued more or less by their masters, as capitalists do with their "human resources" departments. What happens when the servants get selfish too, and place values on anyone and everything, as their masters did?
You place value on material luxury, someone else puts value on emancipation from toil, time free to create. I know which I side with. Finally, DO NOT equate wealthy people with wealthy personalities in a Nietzschean sense. Greatness and wealth are not equivalents.
Your Nietzsche appears to be a . Mine is a TERROR for you, friend.
