From the 14th century lucre has meant money and is referred to as such by no less writers than Chaucer and John Wyclif.
These references generally included a negative connotation and gave rise to the terms "foul lucre" and "filthylucre", which have been in use since the 16th century.
Following on the the term "filthylucre", money became known by the slang term "the filthy", and it isn't a great leap from there to the rich being called the "filthy rich".
