If you cannot be bothered with learning our language, and think that being rich somehow makes our country owe you its citizenship — then yeah, maybe Germany isn’t for you.

Permanent Residency -- not citizenship.
Residency is purely about taxes, health insurance and right to work. You e.g. don't get voting rights in national elections.
EU citizens automatically get permanent residency in any EU country regardless of language.
E.g. I'm a permanent resident in Germany as a Dutchie.
(However I did end up picking up German and speak it now. But never had to do a language test)
