δι’ ὑμᾶς ἐπτώχευσεν πλούσιος ὤν -- 2 Cor.8:9.
Jesus didn't even become a πένης, a poor person who actually worked for his living, a paycheck to paycheck kind of guy. You know, like Paul was. No, Jesus became the jobless poor, πτωχός, so poor he had to beg for his daily bread.
You might almost say that even Paul would agree with Luke that Jesus himself "said goodbye to everything that he owned" (Luke 14:33).
Because the Master would not ask the disciple to do what he himself had not done.
