You can be full of money, incredibly rich, drive the most expensive cars, have yachts, houses, lovers, get high or drunk every day and be ultimately miserable. Well, if you think, this is not true, look at all those people, from Kurt Cobain to Amy Winehouse, so many musicians, singers, actors, top managers... They all were rich and ended their lives.
They all needed sex, alcohol, drugs and so many material things to make them happy. And the more money they have, the more addiction they needed. They don't have true and honest friends, often no such relatives as well. They live in a world where they believe everyone wants their money. Or they believe that people around them love only their money or things that money can buy.
Have you seen kids that have all of the newest PC's, consoles, electric bikes, toys and games, branded clothes, and gadgets? Have you seen them really happy? The moment someone has newer mobile, they have to have it. If they see a new commercial for a toy, they have to have it. And so on. Until they don't have it, they are utmost unhappy. No matter that they have 100 toys (playing with each a day or two in total), they need that 101st toy. If they have 50 shoes, they are unhappy until shoe number 51 is not bought. They can't live without it.
When you don't trust people around you and their motives, and you feel unhappy until you have something new, the only way to be in good vibe is to use substances - alcohol or drugs. You need to have followers, fans, trophies, or new things every day. The majority of the rich can only be happy through addictive substances.
