Please help me understand the thoughts of people who actually want (for example) $20 Billion Dollars. Depending on where you live, wouldn't $5M be about enough?

Could you be happy (for example) in a comfortable middle-class life? In case you do not know, excess money can create related problems. Seriously, why would anyone want $20 Billion Dollars?
Personally I would be satisfied with the knowledge that I have enough money to lead a comfortable middle-class life for the rest of my life. I might have exactly that now, but things can change pretty fast. Those who are chasing $20bn are either doing it out of
greed, a need for
security or a combination of both. Both $20bn and $5m are very relative given the bigger picture. E.g. there were plenty of billionaires and even trillionaires in Zimbabwe during their currency crisis, yet the majority had a hard time to survive.
