I mean you can always "risk" money for health with expensive ideas/inventions/treatments that may or may not work. Same as risking health for money.

Always? No. Many health issues are actually incurable with current technology. For a simple example, many forms of hearing loss are incurable as far as we know. You can spend a lot of money on fancy hearing aids but it won't get you normal hearing again.
Old rich people can't spend money to cure all their ailments and be young again. Maybe someday, but not today. And it's not a gamble if there's no chance of success.
