The pursuit of wealth driven simply by the desire to have wealth will never end, a millionaire will always be disapointed that he/she is not a billionaire - there is an article in the ST by Libby Caudwell, daughter of billionaire John Caudwell (Phones4U) which underlines his relentless chasing of more and more wealth and his disappointment that he is slipping down The Times Wealth List because his estate is "only" valued at just under £2bn and there are 56 more wealthy people than him in the UK this year.
To her credit his daughter asked him to stop her "few thousand" a month allowance and took herself off to Australia where she worked for a living for a year, now it was only a year and she is back living in one of daddy's pads again but she claims that its taught her a lesson, that when she had to save a months salary to buy a lamp for her rented room she realised the cushion that untold wealth gives you.
Hopefully she genuinely means that and she seems to be getting involved with one of her fathers trusts (he has proclaimed that he will "give away" half of his wealth before he dies) that provides support to families of very sick and terminally ill children, if so then some good can come of untold wealth if only the lesson that eventually you realise that having £2billion worth of assets and a Ferrari for every day of the year is ultimately f'kin pointless unless you do something with it that will benefit someone other than your own selfish persona.
