Can the military kick you out for having too much money?

Saw this on a reddit and thought I would see what kind of answers/discussions we could get here on Rallypoint.

EDIT: Lets add a question
Would you stay in the Military if you came into a substantial amount of wealth or money?

It depends. If your wealth is honestly obtained then it’s not a problem for the military. If your wealth is from an illegal source or used for illegal purposes t

I've had two millionaire soldiers work for me during my career. One won the lottery, and the other inherited his wealth. Both were very effective at their jobs. Throw them out? Hell, no. Now, if you got your wealth selling drugs or other such criminal nonsense, sure, you can be court-martialed and ultimately expelled from the service.

I think it was back in 96 or 97. A newly arriving PFC to Fort Campbell spent $1, won $96 mil on lotto and was out in less than a week. I think the limit is around $6 mil. and they boot you out.
