I mean, you could invent tetraethyl gasoline and CFCs.... you don't have to be super wealthy for that, but getting the world to adopt them in horribly harmful ways certainly takes capital.

CFCs are easily a net win, as they made refrigeration (and consequently food preservation) practical, cheap and safe.

TEL, though, yeeeeah... that was a bad move.
