Same is true for almost all revolutionary figures.
George Washington, for example, was one of the richest men in the Americas and didn’t react to the British taxations until they set their sights in his businesses.
He only acted because it started to impact him personally and we, apocryphally, added selflessness to his character because of it.
“Revolutionary” as in “US Revolutionary war” or as in “a figure that promotes revolution?” For the former, sure. Our “founding fathers” were all rich white slave owners. They enter the equation with a low score. If the latter, I’d argue many like Harriet Tubman wouldn’t fall into this category of small-r revolutionary figures being extremely flawed individuals later raised to hero status.
