Are there any cases of moral people getting rich?

I aspire to become rich one day (I'm not that young already, but still dreaming). I'm also a very moral person, at least I think I am. I was thinking – is it even possible to become rich and keep one's moral spine? I know endless stories of psychopaths or ignorants becoming multimillionaires. One interesting case is Notch, the author of Minecraft, but in my book getting rich by creating a time-waster for children is not that moral neither. I'm just bringing his example to highlight that sometimes it doesn't involve exploiting other people in labor. What are your thoughts?
