> I tend to disagree when someone speaks of the 1% as being money driven. After a certain point, you can buy basically anything and more money won't change that. Influence may be the next level for these people. Money's still useful to the rich for "keeping score," even after they can buy "basically everything." If they're competitive (any they probably are), they gain satisfaction knowing they're richer than the other guy, or the most successful businessperson in their field, etc.
