@The Votive Soul - great answer. There is also another aspect - when Jesus was asked about the greatest commandments (eg, Matt 22:34-40) He answered with two commandments that that are not part of the 10. This, according to Jesus, "commandments" included more than just the 10. See also Luke 1:6 and Matt 5:17.

This answer seems too presumptive. "...he was hording his wealth, thereby negatively affecting those around him in need..." How do we know he was simply hording his wealth? He could have gotten wealthy while also giving to the poor. It's possible to be super wealthy and generous. Jesus didn't ask him to give away some of his wealth, but ALL of it. Who knows? Perhaps the ruler would have been willing to give up half his wealth, but Jesus didn't ask for only half.
