Who had/has the best rich man gimmick in wrestling?

The phrase isn't "everybody's got a price, for JBL..." is it?

The answer is obviously DiBiase. How could it not be? The WWF invested a lot into the character. He rolled around in limos, was shown in mansions, was billed as being from the Dutch Antilles (no relation to Wedge) stuffed money down wrestlers throats, tricked kids into doing stunts for money, bought his own gold belt and attempted to buy the WWF title. It wasn't just that he was a rich character, the WWF did everything they could to make you despise him for it. He wasn't a wrestler who happened to be rich, his character was a rich guy who happened to be a wrestler. That character made DiBiase one of the top 5 heels in the history of wrestling, in my opinion.
