Hedonism isn't about hoarding stuff. Working more hours to buy more stuff is the opposite of hedonism. Contemporary hedonism implies something like partying at Ibiza 24/7, but the original meaning was more like the enlightened dad spending more time at home cooking organic meals for his family.

Hedonism is doing whatever you do, seeking pleasure.

Sometimes yes, this mean working your ass off to hoard stuff.

Sometimes it means using your daddy money buying fancy cars and crashing them.
