The Rogue Trader CRPG was a little like this (for different reasons, obviously) - your wealth was immeasurable, but purchasing things involves your reputation with a faction and an abstraction of the degree of your wealth.
The ttrpg it was based on also had this mechanic. Only extreme material investments, like equipping a regiment with plasma guns, put a dent in your profit factor
