6. I don't understand the voracious greed

Everybody wants enough money to be comfortable, but why is there this tier of millionaires/billionaires who have so much more than they could ever spend in a lifetime but who continue to pursue limitless wealth, even late into their lives when more thoughtful people would be appreciating the time they have left and living meaningfully. What good will Elon's $400 billion do him when our planet is burning up? He can live underground with several hundred thousand cans of tuna, I guess. What kind of life is that?
