If you are content with where you are economically, would you refuse or reject becoming rich or wealthy?

Curious of statements made in another thread, I figure I would pose the question to see if the statement had any legs. It was purported that people who are content or happy where they are economically don’t care if they ever become rich, or don’t hate they are poor, middle-class, working class, etc. That being the case if a person who was not rich and happy they are not, but content with what they earn or the wealth they have, if they found themselves in a super large windfall, however it came, where their net worth increased 700 thousand times what it was, would they reject the money? Would they give every last time away? What does it say about their truthfulness to their belief if they keep some of the money, most, or all of it? If they are content, would they not give all the money away or flat out reject it as to not change anything one iota in how their life was going?
