It makes me think of hoarders. It just happens to be the case that money is universally sought-after, and so we think "it make money, is good!" But it's not much different from someone with stacks of ancient newspapers filling 98% of their living space. It's not like Jeff could actually spend all of that money even if he wanted to. He has more than he could ever need to live the most lavish and privileged of lifestyles, including giving the same to several generations of his offspring. He could still go to space and do all that crazy shit with 10% of what he has in his bank account. It can't be normal.
