We do have a large number of wealthy people who are all about that and I find it mind boggling. What kind of idiot decides that the most important thing to them after they already have over a billion dollars is to get more? Why not try to do new risky things that are unlocked by that money? How're they really just all about a "number go up" game?

Fortunately it seems that we also have quite a few wealthy people that actually want to use their money to fund and do new and innovative stuff.

Selection bias?

People who don't care about constantly accumulating more wealth than they need rarely end up obtaining it.
