It is proper to say '从穷到富', but as it is quite succinct, it is more likely to be used in blog titles and summaries rather than a sentense or an article.

"贫贱" also reflects people's social status, compared to "穷".

"went" - "经历", that is still the verb in the sentense.

"from..to.." - "从..到.." 描述状态的变化 (describe changes in state)
