And let me expand upon my point slightly further.
I recall reading a good article that had some real research behind it that concluded there was a certain range of money, dependent upon the individual's age and family situation, that once you surpass, your happiness and sense of worth and satisfaction with your life in general no longer relies on money.
It might be that you continue to gain some amount of happiness with more money, but it no longer relies on it.
The amount was something like $60-80K for a single person and slightly more for a family income with kids but basically the gist of it is, beyond $100K, those who continue to be much happier with more money tend to be vastly more materialistic.
Of course it's not a blanket statement and obviously poor people can't be philanthropists like wealthy can, but when you think about it, when this brad holt, whoever he is, wakes up in the morning, is he really doing that much better than you or I? He's going to take a shower, poop, eat breakfast, do something, eat again, feel tired after lunch, eat dinner, do something else and go to bed.
Private jets, mansions, boats, and the like may not cancel out the feeling any individual has of having completely and publicly failing at accomplishing some project, or running an organization, etc.
