My instinct is to avoid special rules.
The game already has a rule (HW:RiG pg 38, second paragraph*) for decreasing Wealth as a result of 'big purchases'. Of course, if your character is very wealthy, they will easily be able to offer a temptingly large ransom (apply a large Wealth rating) without liquidating capital (decreasing their Wealth rating afterwards).
