that's only because they aren't a sufficiently large enough group of people
The number of people is irrelevant, it's because being rich isn't a protected class.
To use another example, it used to be legal way back when to sell cocaine and put it in soft drinks. "Cocaine sellers" were a group of people, but not a protected one. Criminalizing that group of people and explicitly trying to make that group not exist anymore isn't a genocide, because "cocaine sellers" can't reasonably be considered a protected class.
Likewise, Antebellum culture in the southern US was heavily influenced by slavery, and slaveowners were eliminated as a group of people, but that's not genocide, because slaveowners are not a protected class.
