There is no limit to wealth as indicated by God in the Quran. You can get whatever wealth you can, provided you play the market fairly and participate in social justice. There is no Communism in Islam. There is free capital but we all get a piece of the cake not mainly those who are in power and the connected ones who own the capital. In Islam politicians are answering to God and the people and not to the owners of the capital.
