You've got lots more freedom for your character if they are rich. Lord Peter Whimsey doesn't have to clock in and out and can drive off and investigate whatever he likes whenever he likes. It'd be hard to solve a crime around shift work at a factory but I agree it'd be interesting if someone did try and write a book like that.
