I'm not sure a wealth limit would be the right solution, but it is an interesting idea. Honestly, I'm not nearly smart enough to have a detailed solution to something like this, but in general, eliminating the methods and loopholes government officials use to enrich themselves with their position - insider trading, campaign financing, lobbying, etc. All the things that corrupt the purpose of government.
