nothing about this seems more than a stereotype or caricature - the lonely miser - the reality is that there are some individuals who will simply live isolated lives of wealth grabbing, but the majority won't.
wealthy and powerful individuals are in fact more likely than anyone to experience contentment, since they have such a wide social circle open to them, and are likely to encounter people who want to impress or get to know them.
