On the other hand, do we want a system where only rich men can run for President?

No. But I also don't want a system where rich men are automatically disqualified simply because they are "rich."

In fact, you would expect most presidents to be rich. Wouldn't we prefer to have our president (chief executive) be a person who achieved success outside of politics?

The thing is, these days with social media, does it really take all that much money to run a campaign and to reach out to people?

I think you can run an effective campaign for a fraction of the cost that politicians spend, of course it would put a bunch of useless political consultants out of business.
