Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It's absolutely mental illness!

If you're a billionaire intent on becoming even wealthier, that usually implies that you really enjoy being a successful businessman. I don't see why business success for its own sake would be inherently less satisfying than other sorts of accomplishment.

You don't achieve that level of wealth ethically or without exploitation, no matter how much business you're doing
