As long as there’s no looming threat of homelessness or starvation, it’s just not the same. If you have a shit job but you know in the back of your mind that you could walk out at any moment and still be just fine for the rest of your life… that safety net makes all the difference in the world in that situation.
On the time of writing it I was thinking like that: they can either be locked in a lowest position their regular employees have and save their wealth OR lose it and start over from a blank page. The conflict is that they won’t have trouble going to the top once again with their connections and stuff, but they’d not be brave enough to lose everything and would hold onto their dragon’s gold nest whatever it takes. Greed holding them back sounds like a fairy-tailish punishment.
Let them have it as long as they are mopping vomit from the floor or deal with agressive passengers. Would they last long?

But in a real context you are right.
