Well, there are always ways to make yourself more wealthy. You spend less on consumables and spend more on investments.

People who typically become extraordinarily wealthy do so via high-risk, high-reward activities like business ownership.

Now you can argue that the risk reward equation isn't the same for people who have 20 million in the bank and 200 dollars in the bank, and that is very true, but it doesn't make the advice to spend as much as you can on investments incorrect.
