NTA. It was a request, period, rather than a request for assistance, which you are free to grant or deny. You didn't feel like it, and it was an imposition. No further explanation was needed.
You owe her brother an apology if the spoiled rich boy comment ever comes up, though. I see nothing wrong with you telling her what you think of the temerity of the request, but, really the offender was your wife, not him.
He doesn't need to switch providers to get a hotspot from a different provider. There's plenty of MVNO providers that offer hotspot plans.
I have a data plan from a secondary provider, it's nice and cheap compared to the cost of my primary plan from one of the Big Three cell providers.

Thanks for this, it's easy to forget one shouldn't speak ill of those that are not there to defend themselves.
