* The title character of Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/TimonOfAthens'' begins the play this way, but is ruined when word gets out that his extreme philanthropy has brought him to this state, and his creditors all call in their debts at once. After an epic FreakOut, Timon is reduced to living in the woods, eating roots, and throwing insults and rocks (and, in one notable production, feces) at anyone who passes by.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHouse2022'': Raymond used to be as wealthy as the rest of his family, but his father reputedly blew the finances on gambling and booze; as a result, despite his upbringing and education, Raymond is left living in a small but comfortable cottage in the middle of nowhere with only a few small keepsakes of his old life. Those of the family who weren't bankrupted by his father's downfall are disgusted, and rub his poverty in his face on the one occasion they bother to visit.

* ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia2017'': Downplayed with [[spoiler:the Cavendish family. While they are very well-off still, [[EvilAunt Daryl]]'s reckless abuse of the family fortune and selling of priceless artifacts following the death of Bernadette has landed the family in hard times and on the brink of bankruptcy, with parts of the estate falling into disrepair as a result. This is a big reason why Diana is so dedicated to preserving and protecting her family's legacy.]]

** This is also the general perception of House Iselsi. After a few of their members tried killing the Scarlet Empress back in the day, she seized their fortunes and had a few members executed or imprisoned every year for the next few decades to set an example. In truth, she turned the family into a spy network and secret police loyal only to her, watching over the other houses. She also promised them that, one day, they would be able to reclaim their prestige and fortunes in a staged display of grand heroism. And then she vanished. House Iselsi is getting ''very'' impatient.
