Starting a new advanced-starting campaign and characters have the ability to qualify for, and purchase, the Excessive Wealth talent. The question has come up whether Excessive Wealth's +10 to Acquisition Tests works for the Starting Acquisitions. Just like the Wealth starting gear technically gives you a "Acquisition Test" with a bonus, does Excessive Wealth give a +10 bonus to the Starting Acquisitions?

Any help on this would be extremely appreciated.

I would rule that it does given that "spend xp" appears before "equip" when making a character (if I remember correctly).
