Can a wealthy buyer still get rejected by a co-op board?

Yes. Financial wealth alone does not guarantee approval. Boards reject buyers for disorganized applications, litigation history, business bankruptcies, lifestyle incompatibility with building rules, and volatile income sources - even if net worth is substantial. The board is protecting the building's long-term stability, not just verifying wealth. Administrative competence and cultural fit matter as much as numbers.
