There are plenty of Christians who are living in mansions and flying in private jets while millions of children are starving.

This sounds to me like the availability heuristic. Go to your local church, even a small one, and see what they're doing. More than likely they're hosting food drives, community services, and some other outreach programs.
With my churches I've personally gone to take food and sanitary packages to the homeless, we've gone to do disaster relief and cleanup after hurricanes, done game nights and singalongs at retirement homes, had bible studies and discussions with groups at low-income housing. Hosted activities for kids in bad neighborhood.
I'm not the most involved person around. I've done these things once or twice when I can go with a group of friends. But there's people that are highly invested that go every week and know the people in the community by name. One of my best friends is from Uganda and he has about six siblings, most of which were adopted. His parents go do missionary work over there, and they adopt an orphan whenever the opportunity presents itself.
These are all just regular people. Doing regular Christian things.
Oh, come on. Don't you even have a small private jet?
