Rich people can simply choose to live the life of a poor person. The poor person doesn't have a 100% chance at the opposite. You can even pick and choose. How much money does it take to reliably earn minimum wage + inflation consideration, from the money alone? Anyone with that money could live the exact life of the poor person without a minute of work. It's not even a lot honestly, maybe $100k in some areas/timeframes? What about 100k and a parent who is in Congress while living in a state with the lowest minimum wage: $7.25?
