I'm studying Japanese by myself.  
To become is なる.  
Able to become / can be = なれる  
If I say なれば it would mean ”If I became” (conditional)  
so "If I can be " should be "なれれば"？

The sentence I'm trying to formulate is :

> It's no problem if that would make me rich.

My try was :

> あんまり大変じゃない、お金持ちになれば。  
>

Which might get interpreted as :

> "it's no problem if I was rich."

I appreciate your help.

grammar conjugations potential-form conditionals
How to say "If I can be"?
I think the use about the word なる you said is right. But I am not so sure
about the translation you did.  
Firstly, no problem does not mean 大変じゃない, that sounds a little weird to me
because in my opinion, 大変じゃない means it is not exhausting, I can still take it.
For no problem, I would say 大丈夫だ, that means it is not a problem, it's ok.  
And for "if that would make me rich", because there is this word make, I think
it's better to translate it to する. So this sentence will be like
"もしそれが私をお金持ちにしてくれれば、大丈夫だ".  
As for your last sentence, was is the past tense of is, right? So it means である
or です or だ in Japanese. There is no change, and it's just a condition I was in
right? So it is not "become", and this sentence will be
私がお金持ちだったら/であったら/でしたら、大丈夫だった。  
I hope this is helpful to you. Enjoy learning Japanese.

この事で自分自身がお金持ちになっても、こんなに問題と言うわけではあるまい。

I think you could say like:

> (もし)それで(お)金持ちに **なれるのなら / なれるなら / なれたら / なれれば** 、問題(は)ないだろう。(or 構わないだろう /
> いいだろう etc. depending on the context.)

それで = それ (that) + particle で (with; because of)
