Okay so like Beast in Beauty and the Beast is some noble right? He lives in a castle, but it’s depicted as being deep in the woods. So where is he getting his riches from? Does he tax the nearby towns? What is the source of his wealth?

He gets cursed and becomes a shut in. Ostensibly traders and diplomats have attempted to visit, but were they turned away? No way the talking furniture acted as a proxy for the head of the house. There’s no evidence anyone has come to or departed from the castle premises in quite some time.
Well, there’s fresh food. They prepare Belle a stellar banquet. There’s a full stock of firewood. Unless there were talking floating axes who swung themselves at timber, all of these things would have arrived at the castle by trade. There was no evidence of farming on the premises.
The castle, despite being closed off, dusty, and falling into obscurity remained structurally unharmed, and its main occupant was sufficiently fed and sheltered and tended to. It doesn’t add up.
