Here's a funny thought. Let's say the temple is rebuilt and Jews begin temple worship and re institute everything...the only jews tithing will be farmers and cattle ranchers...even the richest jew who made his money on banking or real estate or whatever, would not have to offer a penny

Correct, technically. Though if someone exchanged their tithe for money, they had to pay a 20% penalty. That is the one and only place in scripture that money is mentioned with tithing, and of course, they had to be too far to make the journey to Jerusalem to even have oppertunity to "take advantage" of this clause.
And then there is the issue of what they DID with the money they exchanged the tithe for.
