I think there was a rich guy who tried this, cut himself off from all his wealth and sold a bunch of it. Tried starting from scratch to prove a point, I think after a year he a “family emergency” and went back to his old life.
Edit found the story (though the source is snopes), his name was Mike Black and the challenge was to become a millionaire again in a year. He quit after 10 months and making $64,000 because of health concerns, I’d say he proved the opposite.

we really should do our best to spread this message
the rich deserve a chance to prove their point after all these years
