* In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheWinds'', the heroine's family is incredibly poor. In the 1984 stop-motion adaptation, they are quite comfortably off. Justified, since in the original story, the heroine and her sisters went to the eponymous lord of the winds to offer themselves as potential brides in exchange for him stopping a deadly snowstorm, but (probably due to the obvious UnfortunateImplications) the romance was removed in the adaptation, so instead the heroine's sister gets sent to appease the lord of the winds with rich gifts.

* In the live-action drama based on ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches'', Meiko Otsuka is the heiress in a wealthy family of doctors. In the manga, [[AdaptationalBackstoryChange her family background isn't elaborated on]], so here, there's nothing to suggest she's particularly well-off.

* Unlike the [[ComicBook/{{Elektra}} original]], ''Film/Daredevil2003'', and Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse versions, who were the daughter of a wealthy businessman (and in the comics and MCU, said father was also an ambassador for Greece), the Elektra Natchios of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel hails from a poor family who operate a struggling laundromat.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald'': While it isn't brought up in the subsequent videos, the first two installments "Scared Silly" and "The Legend of Grimace Island" give hints that this version of Birdie the Early Bird is rich, when the standard Advertising/McDonaldland ads never gave any indication that Birdie had a lot of money to her name. Particularly, the former video has her bring up that she has been to luxurious hotels and responds to the Phantom Head's riddle about being finished when your plate is full by remarking that this statement is crazy before rambling about [[FormalFullArrayOfCutlery starting with the salad fork]], while the latter has Birdie forcing Franklin, Grimace and Hamburglar to carry aboard a lot of her belongings, with one crate containing her collection of expensive French perfumes.

* ''{{Film/Pollyanna 1960}}'':
** The film adds in more wealth for the already well-to-do Aunt Polly, who is now the wealthiest woman in town; the town now even being named after her family (it's Beldingsville in the book and Harrington Falls in the film).
** Nancy in the book is from a poor family, and it's said she's working for Aunt Polly to support a widowed mother and three sisters. The film doesn't mention her family, with casual mentions that Nancy is planning to marry a man called George soon, [[spoiler: and she gets a nice engagement ring at the end]].



* The book version of ''Film/SleepingWithTheEnemy'' has Sara pinching every penny and living on oatmeal and beans for months when she flees to Iowa. The film version shows Laura being able to afford a nice house and luxuries like brand name goods.



** Robb's wife in the books is the daughter of a minor nobleman called Jeyne Westerling. In the show, she's a former Volantis lady called Talisa Maegyr who has left court behind to work as a field nurse.

** Downplayed, with the Lodge family. In the comics the Lodges are often portrayed as insanely wealthy to the point of being one of the [[Fiction500 richest families in the world]]. With the series attempts at higher realism, this is grounded into them being only incredibly rich.
