Not necessarily. If you despise the field you're in and can't bring yourself to enjoy your work at all, even making millions won't make your work life a happy one. Of course, I suspect a lot of truly successful people make up for that a fair bit by doing stuff they actually enjoy outside of work. But if your job generally isn't something you enjoy doing/your skills don't match your desires, then it can pretty miserable regardless. There's a reason some people give up a great job for something that pays far less that they actually enjoy.
