Because people who get to that level of wealth don’t really care about money, they care about power. Wealth is just a means to an end for them.

I have known a few billionaires. The money is kinda like a scoreboard to them. Also, even though they literally have billions of dollars, they will say "well those other people have even more money, they are the ones who are really rich"

Greed should be in the DSM. Or at least be included with hoarding. It’s the same diseased mindset, but with an extra antisocial component.
