The law,
in its majestic equality,
forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread

When’s the last time you saw a billionaire commiting vagrancy?
That’s the whole point being made, the laws are created to crack down on things which are done exclusively by the downtrodden.
A billionaire could have an odd situation where he would chose to do one of those things, because he knows he’d be able to buy his way out of any consequences.
There’s a movie exploring that. It’s called Life Stinks by Mel Brooks. It does not work out like you describe.
Nothing made by Mel Brooks is accurate to reality. Except for tangential plot points that add pith to the hilarity and hilarity to the poignancy.
