I have a theory that you need to be a very insecure person to continue accumulating money once you have more than you and your family could ever spend. It explains why billionaires aren’t happy being billionaires, they need to be famous as well. Elon can’t be happy being the richest man in the world, he needs to be a right wing thought leader, he needs to be the memelord.

Same shit for famous insecure people. The Rock can’t be happy being rich and one of the most famous people in the world, now he needs to be a business leader. Jerry Seinfeld can’t be happy being a billionaire and famous comedian, he needs to be a successful filmmaker. Kanye can’t just be an artist and rich, he needs to run for president.
