Sort of, not really. He was originally rich because he’s loosely based off of Zorro, who was loosely based off the Scarlet Pimpernel and The Count of Monte Cristo, who are rich aristocrats. Being an old-money aristocrat of European descent is kind of important to Batman’s gothic byronian hero thing. If they reimagined him as a nouveau-rich tech bro billionaire it would make the character fundamentally different.
Oooooh that's some tasty brain food, can you tell me where to find more on the characters connection to zorro?
Edit: did a little looking on my own, Batman creators cite zorro as an influence
