Doesn't sound like something anyone would say in real life.
I wish that you would become a millionaire.
"I wish (that) you would ..." is used when the second person can choose to do that thing, and the first person is unhappy that they don't, e.g. "I wish that you would keep your room a bit tidier". It is not appropriate here.
