It's also conversely weird where people hold the belief that if they were insanely rich, that their life would be substantially better.
Yes, you would no longer have financial stressors (then again, if you're not stupid and blow it all and end up broke..), wouldn't have an obligation to work, but then some people also start to lack finding purpose or function in life on their own. You've 100%ed the game, what objectives are left?
But even moreso is all the fake people. That you could be a center of attention to a crowd, but where it's not genuine. It's not where [at least most] people even actually care about you personally, and are more interested about being in your proximity just for your status and money. If you're too notable, you can't live as a nobody anymore. You're also a magnet for the occasional crazy person that you've never met.
I remember there being a news article about one notable figure that had made it very big, that they felt essentially alone and depressed. There was such a condescending public response, of people mocking said person, as if it's like impossible to be a multi-billionaire and also be depressed, even as a genuine person (not like someone that faked their way and used people to get to their status, whereas in that case, it'd certainly be due).
