* Your benefactor doesn't literally have to be secret here, but this limitation still effectively applies because leaving you gear to find or inherit is purely indirect aid.
EDIT: Plot protection is arguably just a +50% cosmic modifier so this suggests some caps for signature gear: - Signature Gear worth up to $1000 times starting wealth should cap at [16] points.
- Up to $10000 times starting wealth should cap at [24] points.
- Up to $100,000 times starting wealth should cap at [32] points.
- Up to 1 million times starting wealth should cap at [40] points.
- An absolute cap of [48] points for signature gear of any value.

The highest category of Patron does not have literally incalculable assets. It says "basically incalculable" and the example organisations given are a national government and a giant multinational organization.
Also seems like a dubious assumption that the Patron would give out equipment worth as much as all its assets....
