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?
That's not the whole idea.
You have 5 billion, is this the point where you have to stop? I was thinking like you years ago but I have changed my mind. Look, you did your best ans got it, you still have to expect much from life. Also there is psychological aspect here, danger of losing money. That's main idea what pushes you to earn more and more like nonstop. Then you'll ask, what about to give income over 5 billion to charity and etc. I would answer that person has to earn him/herself. The only way I agree charity is if it's used for education - yeah, that's the biggest investment for whole society.
On another hand it's very, very attractive and more wilder than gambling, being a billionare is achievement, very hard and less possible.
