Why do super-rich people want to get richer?

“Why stop at the first million when you could make the second?” Ever pondered this?

For the uber-rich, wealth creation isn’t merely about the pursuit of luxury. Like a mountaineer seeking the next peak, the super-rich are driven by:

• Validation: Amassing wealth is a marker of success and affirms their business acumen.
• Ascent: The exhilaration of climbing ‘financial Everest’ never ends. There’s always a higher summit.

Not every billionaire acts in way which shows that with wealth comes responsibility – to yourself, to society, and to generations that follow. After all, what is the point of wealth if not to create a positive impact?

Wealth is a means, not an end. In the chase for wealth, let’s not forget the wise words of Indian guru Swami Vivekananda, “The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish man, is the most successful.”
