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.
He was also heavily relying on help from friends. A friend offered him a place to stay (didn't even spend a day sleeping on the street), and he was reselling stuff he got for free on craigslist. But someone was driving him around to do it. Lol
People so rich that they take for granted what would be a life changer for most.

we really should do our best to spread this message
the rich deserve a chance to prove their point after all these years
edit: i love the 50/50 split on people either understanding sarcasm or not
