It's not about how they got it. It's about amassing it.
I thought we were talking about the meme.
But, yes, acquisition (and how) of money is an arguably more important focus than amassing wealth that is wasted on and cannot possibly be a need of a single person.
To put into perspective, a few years ago I managed a workforce that cost ~$2.1B annually in wages, ~17,000 staff. The workforce comprised of four hospitals, dozens of aged and community care homes and clinics, mental health and suicide prevention support services, and dozens of community outreach services such as temporary housing, clothing and furniture donations, etc. It serviced the whole state and parts of the country.
This is what can be done with a certain single person's money. By all means have them enjoy their wealth, but at a certain point, I can't fathom what good amassed wealth is doing for anyone, including the individual.
