In the future, I suggest limiting a new PC at these levels to 1/3 standard wealth to start with, and keeping a tight rein on item purchases - a single-item value cap and close review of the player's desired items list help. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  For now, maybe find a way in game to have NPCs appreciate the party's deeds with rewards of the kind that will make the other PCs stronger - items especially for their use would be fine for example.  If Oscar is fine with it, a single heap of gifts leaving his PC out (or short) will solve your problems quickly, otherwise think of reasons for _different_ NPCs to give individual PCs special gifts.  At these levels people might also get awarded titles, for example - heck, PC are getting positions at a noble's court at around 12th-14th level in one combat-heavy game I play in, and one who's been set on it forever just got himself elected king of a northern country.  Surely a paladin might be a candidate for some wonderful title (not related to land or wealth) if he's left out of the items shower?</blockquote>
