5 million dollars will look great only until you have them. Once you get your 5, your next target may be 25, then 125.. x=5*x. Engineers who work to create amazing things, work to get a kick out of creating cool stuff.Same case with CEOs. money feels great, but never enough..

Some people may be wired that way but plenty are not. Especially in the US people believe that it's in human nature to always want more but I think it's only a small percentage that are wired that way. Most people are happy living a stable life where their basic needs are met. The top guys should be happy about this, otherwise they wouldn't find employees that are willing to work a for a stable salary.
