Wealth gives you a multiplier on starting funds, free Status at Wealthy/Multimillionaire 1/Multimillionaire 2...and that's actually about all that you get out of the Basic Set. See B25-26 and B516-517.

B517 even says that a wealthy PC may work at a job below their wealth level, but only receives the normal pay for that job. On the flip side, if you have a job that pays more than your Wealth would suggest, you eventually have to buy up your Wealth as your savings accumulate. This means that job specific pay is job specific pay, and there's no reason for an employer to pay more just because you have Wealthy on your character sheet.

From this, I see an implication that you can start with a job suitable to that level of Wealth, but beyond that, you have no expectation of anything.
