Dorothy Sayers comes right out and acknowledges that Wimsey's wealth is part of her own fantasy and wish fulfillment:

In How I Came to Invent the Character of Lord Peter Wimsey, Sayers wrote:

"Lord Peter's large income... I deliberately gave him... After all it cost me nothing and at the time I was particularly hard up and it gave me pleasure to spend his fortune for him. When I was dissatisfied with my single unfurnished room I took a luxurious flat for him in Piccadilly. When my cheap rug got a hole in it, I ordered him an Aubusson carpet. When I had no money to pay my bus fare I presented him with a Daimler double-six, upholstered in a style of sober magnificence, and when I felt dull I let him drive it. I can heartily recommend this inexpensive way of furnishing to all who are discontented with their incomes. It relieves the mind and does no harm to anybody."

It's not the wealth that bothers me, it's his attitude to other people. Especially poorer people. But anyway, it doesn't really matter what gripes I have. I was just curious what OP thought. :)
