In the typical case that the patron is deceased and you are inheriting his assets this is exactly the case.
A god who "appears personally to intervene on your behalf". It does not say a god that sends you a universe's worth of equipment. It seems reasonable to not allow a god Patron to give you much more money than such mundane organisations. At least not without the Special Abilities enhancement.

There are things with a market price that would be too expensive for even the largest actors to buy. For example in the real world, certain kinds of software would be too expensive for any actor to design. Another example would be an enough antimatter to make an antimatter bomb (even though small amounts of antimatter could be bought).

Where is that typical case stated?
