Wealthy and Lonely

In my career, I've worked with hundreds of successful people worth over half a trillion dollars. They all face the same challenges despite their wealth. They chase their dreams, build companies, and work tirelessly, only to realize that money doesn't buy happiness. Rich people get sad and lonely too, and all the money in the world can't change that. Focusing solely on wealth comes at the expense of relationships and other important aspects of life. These wealthy individuals often experience divorce and health issues, almost like a stereotype. Wealth also isolates them, making it difficult to form new friendships. Humans are wired to need each other, and great wealth can be isolating, which goes against our nature.
