The solution is obvious, though: wealthy individuals, or collectives of such, should pay folks to live an authentic, poor, impoverished life, protect it as an island of authenticity, for some set period of time, and that person is forbidden from accessing their new wealth personally for X amount of time.
I'm not joking. This deal would appeal to many people who both want a hands-on life but who also want to retire to someplace other than an authentic, brutal poorhouse. In return, society gets to (synthetically) maintain a different way of life, which may come in handy when things change, when climate, asteroids, or revolts make "the old ways" more valuable again. And in the meantime, it would maintain a secret, private getaway for the ultra wealthy to enjoy very occasionally and discretely.
