I have run into many contractors of various trades that vary their prices depending on how much $$ they feel a person has.
Many years ago I had a contractor who was looking at a job for me, tell me that the homeowner apparently has plenty of money and it was his job to get as much of it out of the homeowner as he could. Needless to say he did not get the job nor have I ever called him again.
A job is worth what it is worth ! A person or homeowners possible net worth should play No role in the cost of that job !
On the other hand, their are also just as many, if not more contractors that are honest hard working people that want to give you an honest days work for a honest days dollar. The challange can be weeding out the bad from the good.
Word spreads and the actions of the "soak it to em" crowd will eventually catch up with them.
