"Thus my advice: read a lot of books; imitate as much as you like; and write a lot." Live life too. Experience how the others live. Always write from the heart. In all honestly, I don't feel wealthy men can write well. Strike that last sentance. They can churn out sentences, but they are not interesting. We suffer through their writing becacuse they are wealthy. We feel they must have something inciteful to say because we equate wealth with talent. I think every wealthy writer knows their best work was done when they were comming up, and almost always when they were poor, and struggling. I can honestly say the only perk of being poor is you will be a good writer of you take the time to write something, or better than the wealthy man on his best day. (I don't feel like a debate. It's just my opinion. And I'm sure you will find good writers that are financially well off, but they wern't always wealthy.)
