if you mean take it to heaven.....not possible
if you mean can you have money here on earth, enjoy and spend it however you want.......well.....its better to use your fortune for a good cause. perhaps not all of it, but maybe give to charity, give tithes at church, donate to hungry families or countries....just a suggestion :)
god bless

A person who just died was received by an angel. The person requested to bring some of his valuables with him to heaven. The angel initially refused but the person persisted. Finally, tha angel relented and the person grabbed two gold bricks to take with heaven.
When he arrived at heaven''s gate, St. Peter asked him what he has in his hand. The person showed Peter the two gold bricks.
Peter replied, "Why did you bring asphalt?"
Rev. 21:18-21
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. [19] And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; [20] The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. [21] And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
What would you spend the money on with a city like that? If God paves the road with pure gold, imagine what heaven would like.

Depends on the following:
First off, you have to know how to get to heaven. Jesus said that He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
Secondly, you have to ask yourself: who (or what) controls your life? Is it God, yourself, your greed, your lust, your pain, your selfishness, or what? If anything other than God rules your life, chances are that you, as of the moment, are not going to Heaven. However, you probably have a while to adjust your priorities!
And thirdly, can your wealth affect your walk with God in a negative fashion? Do you have enough to give to the poor or needy? Try to use your money for someone else, instead of yourself.
All things considered, I would like to stress that money is not necessarily a bad thing. Jesus said that the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil, not the money itself. However, Judas Iscariot's greed led him to betray Jesus, and, time and time again, we have been shown that a lot of money usually makes the rich person greedy. But, if you consider the things above, you will probably be okay!

If you believe in Heaven, then you are already on the right path to getting there. As for your fortune...if you mean can you enjoy it while you are living... just remember that all things are from God, and so is your fortune...Thank him, and accept his gift.

Haha...you can't! Anyway what is actually MONEY in the end - Just a bunch of Atoms. Money, like all the other objects in this universe has NO VALUE. A piece of paper only becomes valuable when men associate value to it.
Remember Friend, GOD in the end may have created all the atoms but its Human who created MONEY! Hence MONEY is useless to his Kingdom.

Well, you will have to leave it here, but there is nothing wrong with being wealthy, just manage it wisely and don't hoard it and if God tells you yo use it for something, do it or then you will be hoarding:0) Have a nice day!

Jesus said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven." Are you a loser? let me explain...a loser is someone who would give up their possessions to follow God. To give up idolatry and other sensual things.
