Amassing wealth is an obsession. These people get a dopamine rush anytime their line goes up. Which is how they got there in the first place. At some point, the value doesn't really matter anymore but the obsession remains.

At a certain point, money is not about wealth or what you can buy with it but rather about power. And in life's twists, those who amass a decent amount of wealth and power come to believe they are "chosen" because of how society treats them. The poors worship the rich. if we were living in a sane society, these amounts of wealth would be looked at disgustingly by society. Shit is beyond fucked and I don't think anything can unfuck modern society.

if these people were any kind of Christian they would be worried about the end of their mortal lives. Instead they are speedrunning everything Christ taught us NOT to be.
