Even if you are charging $15,000 per CP, they can easily purchase 2,000 CP worth of cybernetics without much trouble for the cost of 100 CP of Wealth.
Thanks for the heads up.

I was planning to run a classic digital heist type game where the starting characters are street level guys that are mostly motivated by money. Because of this I wouldn't allow Wealth related advantages.

But your point stands if the characters score big at some point. It might be advisable to limit the cyberware's availability and reliability to offset this.
