generally yea

there's also a big difference between "one guy supposedly stealing one thing as a part of a story" and "let's all go steal"

when you consider morality, do you think your rule only ever applies to one person or categorically?
It applies categorically. But the category isn't "all people", it's "all people whose wealth was obtained through fair means". Economic parasites - which describes all ultra-wealthy people ipso facto - do not qualify.
No one other than Kant (and really, kant's own delusions about himself) are deontological ethicists. Everyone has exceptions where they think the right thing is context dependent
