Money is not only addictive, but money is the means to obtain power and power is most addictive.
Those who have wealth and power are like sharks. A shark must keep swimming for if it stops it suffocates, swimming forces water through it's gills. So it is with wealth. It is a ponzi scheme, and it has to keep moving, growing, expanding or it dies.
Land developers are a good example. They borrow money from pension funds and other investors to finance a project, they live off that financing, and when done they have to start another project to pay back the original investors and support their lifestyle. When they stop the whole game comes crashing down. Just like AMWAY and other multi level marketing schemes.
I am so glad to be middle middle class. Debt and mortgage free, enough retirement income to pay taxes, insurance, buy foods and discretionary spending, including internet purchases, that I don't have to worry about being suffocated if I don't continue swimming.
Most of us are like sharks, we need to keep moving (working to pay bills and eat) or we "die". The difference between us and the ruling class, is that we do it to put a roof over our head, clothes on our back and food on the table, they do it because they are addicted.
I am watching Succession, thinly veiled series about the Murdochs (except Logan is Catholic and Rupert is Jewish). The father died and his heirs have enough money to set themselves up on some prime piece of real estate for life, but they are staying in the fight for control of the Empire, and it isn't money that drives them. Is it money that keeps Senators and Judges in office till they die? Like Feinstein. Well maybe in her case it is, who knows what will happen to her family fortune should she resign from office.
