I like your thinking.
Rich people build walls. It's what they do. Do you want to be walled off? You would have a dozen compounds around the world and would have an entourage sucking up to you. No actual relationships with anyone. You wouldn't trust anyone because they all want your money.
It would be too easy to turn into a Donald Trump.
Every once in a while, you hear about someone who breaks that mold. Like the 4 hour caffeine drink guy who apparently set up a research lab with his riches in order to find inventions that would further mankind. It would take discipline to do that.
