A researcher interviewed wealthy people.

They were all quite wealthy.
Multiple homes, private planes, luxury lifestyle, etc.

And not one of them felt they had enough money, so they were not happy.

Every single one of those interviewed said if the only had more money,
they would finally be happy.

But then the researcher talked to people with more money and they said the same thing.
They needed more money to be finally happy.

So no amount of money will make these personalty types happy,
that is why they will do anything to get more wealth.
