Why do some people need so much money?

Sam Barnes said:Money is money... theoretically speaking. Let’s be real: nobody earns $100 million through honest, hard work—it’s just impossible (unless you’re some founder over at Google, Facebook, or Microsoft.......), in which case, it’s all just theft.
I can’t help but wonder why people even care, or why, in this "beautiful US" of ours, we see someone snatch $30 million and get a mere year in prison, while a guy who steals a few cents ends up facing four years of hard labor.....

In short, most people have turned into nothing more than cogs in the modern social machine, driven by a tiny handful of elites who steal massive fortunes without a shred of conscience.....
I find myself wondering if we’ll ever see another Raskolnikov—someone from that breed who believes they actually have the right to commit a crime......................

This is just a defense mechanism. People can't handle admitting their own limits in intelligence or skill, so they claim anyone more successful than them is just a thief, on steroids, or being pushed by someone behind the scenes.

Maybe their ultimate life goal is just to join the Freemasons. You know, so they can finally sit at the top of the food chain and pull all the strings, controlling everything and everyone in sight.

Just think about it for a second....
What do you even do with that kind of cash? Who do you give money to, how much goes to charity, and which specific nonprofit gets the check? Where do you even hide the wealth? Then there’s the dark side—what if extortionists show up, or someone tries to kidnap a kid, or you deal with racketeers? Where would you move? And who could you actually hang out with? Because once people realize what you have, you finally see who your actual friends are—the ones who can genuinely be happy for you without expecting a massive handout or some "friendship prize"...
Let's be real, the wealthiest people in the world are often the loneliest....
I don't envy them one bit!

Stop daydreaming..
