It is the saying "the punishment should fit the crime". So what do we do if a rich guy assaults someone? Stick him in prison with a sentence proportional to his earnings? I think everyone should recieve the same punishment relating to the seriousness of the crime and not the wallet.
As seeing he's a successful business man why don't they make him do some sort of "community service" I'm pretty sure a days work from him is more valuable to him then the hard stuff. The local community also get something back instead of the fine going through all the legal stages and in the end will cost the taxpayers more then what is recovered.
