Order of importance and budget percentages

I’m redesigning my system again…. About to sell all cables and some gear to make a large upgrade

from really knowledgeable people please in a 50k or 100k MSRP system for example….

How would you spend your cable budget proportional to speaker, interconnects, power and Ethernet?

Just a rough guideline, but adjust as necessary as overall system balance/synergy is absolutely key. I left out room treatments, but they’re likely a necessity as well to get the most out of the system.
