In most settings Wealthy to Filthy Rich gives a +1 to Status.
Also Cost of living is based on
Status not wealth level (B265). There is nothing in that section that indicates wealth level has any effect on Cost of Living. That is handled by the automatic status bonus that generally comes with high wealth.
For example, a Status 0 person who won the lottery or was the inheritor of a large estate and became a multimillionaire would temporally become Status 2 resulting in their $600 Cost of Living going up to $3000. It would
not go up to a minimum of $6000.
