If you are filthy rich, you would rather prefer to maintain your position and not to worry about others.
That's because you became filthy rich.

The key word there is position. Anyone who's ever enabled cheats in a single player video game knows how hollow and boring raw "success" without a broader context is. You need a society to have a position. And the admiration of the desperate is far less satisfying (even to the selfish) than the admiration of the capable, educated, and well off.

Smart and brave are dangerous for you, they are not your friends.
