Someone pointed out that if you ran a monkey farm and 1% of your monkeys was hoarding all the bananas, you'd think there was a problem with the monkeys. Somehow, when a human hoards like that, they get the cover of Forbes.

Wealth hoarding is a pathological addiction, and a wealth addict is no different than any other addict in that the addiction comes first all the time. Their lives become centered around the addiction. It is their raison d'etre. The problem in society is when we expect rational behavior from those incapable of that behavior. Oligarchs come to mind. there will never be enough to satisfy the craving for more money/power.

Sadly, these addicts would be the first to condemn a heroin addict and completely fail to see their own hypocrisy.
