No it doesn’t, most of the wealthy do not keep large sums of cash on hand, it’s invested in other assets that grow with inflation.

The wealthy are also the hands into which the printed money goes, and it also makes the real cost of leveraged investments lower. Triple threat!

Most of them keep 10% of their portfolios in cash or treasury bonds.

When inflation is low, yes. But as inflation goes up, interest rates will increase to fight it while at the same time, households reallocate their wealth.
