This is meant to be an interactive discussion, I like to hear how you think on the very simple question of the factor that keeps the wealthy looking for more ways to make more money.

The wealthy are relentless in their pursuit for money, they are intentional about it, you read and hear regularly on the news about a new business or company that a known wealthy man around you is setting up, they are always up to something new, seeking more ways to increase their source of income. So I was thinking, what really pushes these people?

Could it be competition? Like competition among their fellow wealthy men, one trying to be wealthier than the other, but I heard that there is no competition at the top.

Is it fear of getting poor again? That could be a really good reason to want to keep working to get more money.

Is it just discipline? like they are already used to the habit of seeking methods to increase their income, the kind of discipline that got them wealthy and so they do not know how to relax after one successful business has been set up.

Could it be the expenses and lifestyle? like in trying to keep up with the bills they have that are big like maintenance cost for their PJ's and Yatch etc, they need to get more money to maintain the lifestyle.

What other reason could there be?

Gender matters.

If it's married men, they either forced by their partners who can't be grateful or they want to have many partners. Women are fine to be mistress or side chick as long as they got paid enough.

If it's women (single or married), they like to showoff/seeking validation and want to life with luxury lifestyle.

Single men won't push themselves really hard except they have a purpose to get married in the future, single men can life in minimum and no problem with that, they're not really want to seek wealthy.

First, there are so much opportunities around us but it takes only a man that has the financial capacity to leverage on those opportunity and that is where the wealthy people comes in. The average person will see an opportunity and do nothing about it due to lack of resource but the rich and sensible person will tap into that opportunity due to availability of resource. this is the reason why the Rich get richer while the poor remain poor.

Same way the poor desires to live a life that is above their means, the wealthy also desires something more and that pushes them to go even higher in starting up new business and investing into new sectors. Some will want to get power and so, will opt for business that will yield more money and carter for their political aspiration. that is another driving force that keeps the wealthy hungry for more.

A wealthy man that becomes too comfortable with what he already has will soonest find himself struggling to maintain that status.

We all know that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer; this is what happens as time goes by. And in this day and age, many are struggling to survive
because it is not easy to make money.

That's why there are also many women these days, even minors, who sell their bodies for money. They don't care if their sexual partner is old, as long as it's easy money for them.
And some will even go for someone who is old and ugly, as long as they have money or are rich, just to get their desires or luxuries.

This discussion should be interesting. About the same as if "bald" people discussed "hairy". :)

Probably the same feelings that drive, for example, gamblers - to get pleasure from overcoming the next "step". For gamblers - it's a win, and for the rich - a successful\profitable deal. I doubt that they are driven only by the desire to earn (the money itself), because they do not need money.

Dominance is an element of any competition, i.e. the desire to feel\realize oneself as “better than others”.

I don't think so, because negative motivation works worse than positive. And the fact that the rich are rich shows that they are successful, and therefore it is more likely that their motivation was positive.

I think this is closer to the truth, since the rich could have developed a habit of living at the pace of life they are accustomed to (earning a lot).

I don't think we can find one "right" answer, because the success of the rich must be influenced by a combination of factors, not just one single reason.

This condition occurs not only in women but also in men. Many young men today are lazy to work, instead they spend money and time focusing on how to have a nice body (firm, flexible, 6-pack abs). They then hang out in nightclubs, or join secret social media groups looking for wealthy widows.

It can be said that the world is becoming very pragmatic as more and more people do not want to work hard but still want to be rich, and they do not hesitate to use any tricks to achieve that, including selling their bodies.

Money is the scoreboard, not the game. What pushes the wealthy, in my experience:

-- Scorekeeping: once basic needs are done, the goal shifts to beating yesterday's number or a rival's chart. The target keeps moving.
-- Control and autonomy: building things buys the ability to say no. That chase is addictive.
-- Problem addiction: some folks just like hard puzzles. Companies are infinite boss levels.

I advised a founder who swore he'd stop at 10M. At 10M he said 25M. At 25M he said one more product cycle. It was never the cash; it was the next release and the team depending on him.

You're creating your own fantasy.

Most of wealthy widows choose to life in luxury over spending money for young men, those young men who focusing to have a nice body only have a purpose to fuck women (including widows), most men are willing to dot that without getting paid.

If those young men want to live comfortable without need to work, pretty sure they have a sugar daddy aka gay instead of a sugar mommy.

Humans want more even if he has many things already. The hunger of having much more will not stop them from making more sources of income. They want to become the richest person in the world so they will create more and more sources that can produce them wealth. I don't know if that is competition among the richest people but all people, not just rich people but also poor people want to be wealthy. The other things that can push these people are greed. They want to get more and more without thinking that it is enough for them. They want to eat a bigger portion than others.

The kind of wealth your referring to from your write up, can only get easy if you have a government backing, most business owners within the ranges of having Pj's and Yatch are mostly government contractors who are well connected within the seat of power, although there are genuine ones who are diligent within their hard work. One of the major things that pushes the wealthy is their drive to succeed especially when they see the opportunity, they utilize it at all cause, making the best out of it, that's why they stand tall among their pairs.

The more wealth we grow the more desire we have on wanting bigger things that’s why rich keep pursuing on getting rich.

Also competition to other rich person just to save their social status for being on the top is another good factor that you brought up on this thread.

It’s more on human greed what makes rich wants more than they have.

To answer your question, it all depends on circumstances, background, and lifestyle.
However, some people become wealthy by inheriting wealth from parents who are intelligent, disciplined, and trained to generate wealth and manage their finances effectively. Their wealth grows through habits and hard work instilled from an early age.
These are the people who are most focused on building a business or other means of generating consistent income, and these habits are passed down to the next generation.

Another thing that pushed them is there expensive lifestyle because if you are living a live of buying anything with bigger amount you would want to do something that would make the money not to stop coming, the second one I believe should be there because of how the setback could be if not controlled well is the fear of becoming poor because if money is not giving a purpose there is no multiplication for it no matter how the person think about it and stead it will increasingly be diminishing as the person is touching it so actually this is the things they see that makes them to hunger for more money even if they still have a lot.

Wealth already is ascertained by investing on resourceful assets that can generate substantial earnings through which sources is diversified to maximize incomes inflows for a long term.

But if we have to talk about the stroke and aspirations that arrives the rich getting richer is all to secure and strengthens their substantial net worths so as they don't go broke or experiences devaluation of their bankrolls.
Of course once tasted riches will always love to keep it up or even acquires more while only those who understand that the influence of economy evolution will always have stashes of intrinsic assets to back their values against inflations and never feel relented that the multi millions of their savings is ever enough to sustain them in the long term.

Infact, the signature behind building mutil million wealths is the create a handwritten wealthy inheritance for their families or lineage. So, you have to invest aggressively so that your wealths can cover a wider range to also have effect on people around you and not just about providing the heaven and the earth treasures die yourself alone.

It is true that when the basic needs of people are met for survival, new needs gradually increase. People like to live a luxurious life and try to earn more and more money to make their dreams come true and not to be poor. over time, people's needs and dreams increase, when one dream is fulfilled, they move towards another dream. The main reason why people's wants will always increase is that the environment and the quality of life change over time, along with changes in technology and mentality, new needs are created among people and this is why a person tries to earn more money.

Everyone has what drives them, some it's their kids, spouse, responsibilities and just ways to keep on surviving, whether we like it or not we are in constant competition in life not necessarily with anyone but that's just how the world works. What's considered to be someone's peak achievement in life is someone else's starting point. There's nothing like having too much money, you need to keep on pushing

Essentially, everyone wants to be better every day, to be more responsible for their families, and to ensure they lack nothing in the future. Sometimes truly wealthy people also have a personal ambition to expand their influence in all fields, not just to maintain their wealth for a long time. They also compete, but their style is more like a division of power. Perhaps only a few wealthy people have a mindset like that of an author, where they write books that can be used by many people without expecting a proportional reward.

This is called business. Tell me, once you have the amount of money that satisfies your needs, what will be your next desire? Rich people are people who have received everything from life and have great opportunities to fulfill their desires, but in addition to this, they become rich because they understand perfectly well that the money received from their business should always work. The word "always" here means an engine that constantly brings profit. Any capital should not lie as a dead weight. I do not see any competition or anything else here, but I see smart actions to continue and increase their capital.

Lack of another purposes in life, so they focus all their energy in making more money, even though they don't really need it.

They are just doing a compensation. For an example, since I'm frustrated on family/affective affairs, and I don't have any hopes in achieving what I would like on this matter, I put all my time and energy on work and investments, in an attempt to not suffer due to that frustration.

I guess humans are constantly doing that. Some compensate with drugs and become addicted, others do this with food and get obese, and there are those who focus on money and end wealthy...

Contentment is good but at the same time you shouldn't settle for the level you have attained because there are more grounds to conquer and more to achieve to life. They say the rich keep on getting richer that's because they don't stop working hard, having a few millions doesn't meant that you can't go broke...What propels the wealthy most times is the thought of falling back to being broke and also making sure that their kids don't struggle

No, it is not about getting poor or any of the points that you have raised. For me it is nothing of any spectacular thing that the rich do. Apart from destiny that can get someone to be in a right place to be located for help. Or your personal idea and chances taken, I think that to be rich, you have to work smart. . So it is because of that smartness that make them capable of seeing opportunities. Remember, as someone who is rich, you can be able to finance opportunities. This is why they say the rich keeps getting richer while the poor gets poorer.

My point therefore is that the first step is being rich and other things follows. Like as a rich person, there are some places you can go to and that helps you more in contacts for businesses. So whether you like it or not, you will naturally become an investor because the opportunity will always present itself from the circle of friends and places you visit and it keeps moving like that. It is not for fear of being poor or competition of some sort, no. It is natural occurrence that once you are able to get to a certain cadre in social status, you have more good heads and hands to work and walk with. Elon musk for example will always have something to invest in because he has the capital. What he only needs is the conviction to go ahead. Capital is the one factor that can get a poor person into another level in social status. If you stay poor, all the good dreams you have will be there and never grows but if by chance you are able to make it, you see a different person. So I don't think the rich actually struggle to maintain their status but it is natural that if you have raisen to a certain level, you meet people in that level as circle and you keep increasing because of the influence the circle has. They are more informed of government policy and contracts, so they are the first to get them.

If you have money, then it's not time to relent, relax and spend the money until it finishes, instead you ahead to work more harder to continue to earn more money for a sustainable leaving and also increases your business the more, investment fund together with the profits are expected to be taken back into the business, the wealthy people have a kind of business oriented mentality, they spend wisely and avoid wasting of resources, because they understand how to manage it effectively for their own sustainability, there are do's and don'ts in running a business and maintaining being into wealth.

Well it is based on individual preferences. First let me ask you do you expect that because someone is wealthy they should automatically stop working? Some people feel miserable when ever they are stagnant and not being productive, some people wants to create a legacy with their wealth and establishments that will outlive them.
And mind you many rich people have their money working for them, some do take vacation most of the time but the already have an organised set up that still makes money for them even when they are sleeping.

You're trying to ascribe one answer to something that has more than one answer or a combination of different answers that is unique to an individual. Ultimately the majority of people here are part of the capitalist "rat race" or something closely related to that, where we navigate the system around us in order to produce the best socioeconomic situation for ourselves. Often intelligence can play a part, which has to be learned from the right teachers and by having access to information. Some people have very creative minds or can handle the stresses of running a business more than others. However a lot of money is just inherited at the highest level and their children are helped into high paying careers like doctors and lawyers.

It can be all, wealthy people fall in a different category, why they strive to get more wealth.  Just like what you had given, they are used to looking for opportunities that they do without even thinking.  It tends to be automatic.

Others strive to earn more to maintain their luxurious lifestyle, others want to outdo their friends achievements and have something to brag about.

I think the most noble is wealthy people striving to earn more for their family's next generation.  They wanted their next generation to not worry about finances thus they are doing everything they can to save more money for the next generation.

If you fully serve money(or "the entity") you become rich in the matrix, while in the right system money serves you or you have power over it.
The rich in the matrix are typically loyal to the system and do what it demands from them, and their businesses will be well supported. You have to support the agenda of the system or build your products in a particular way that ensures that the system is in control.
To continue to climb up the ladder of riches,  you have to keep supporting the system and/or satisfying the evil lust of society/people even more, not minding the bad consequences, or the fact that people become slaves to those evil things. For those who still have some "conscience" there is a point when they refuse to keep climbing further, and then they will remain where they are or be removed from the position.

The rich people at the right side completely stick to doing what is right for consumers. They will not look rich or have alots riches to themselves, but their uprightness earn them rewards from above. The rewards include power over riches.

Opportunities are unlimited with wealthy people. Because the fact that they have constant money to start with, they can create a new one or extend their business, or improve or increase their sources of income because wealthy people are simply competitive and proactive, seizing every opportunity that comes that make money work for them, and they give value and focus to investing while prioritizing assets over liabilities.

They are pushed by their strong discipline and resilience, until financial literacy is achieved. And when one a new goal is achieved, they simply won’t find contentment but instead they keep on seeing chances and opportunities to make their money grow and multiply in the long run.

Because I realize that if we don't improve our economic situation, then who else will? In this world, pursuing wealth is not just a matter of social status, but also about giving you a sense of responsibility for your family and loved ones so that they can have the opportunity to enjoy a better life.

The fact is that money brings more money and that's why you see that the rich wouldn't stop to make more money because they have the opportunity and resources to get more. Imagine if you are poor and don't have a car, no one will come to you that he wants to sell his car so that you can buy it from him, but the moment you buy a car, you will see people coming to you that they want to sell their car if you're interested or have someone who is interested.

It is not a single factor thing honestly, it is a combination of attitude, style and chance. The majority of the rich do not live in fear or competition, they actually are delighted to create, find solutions, and have control over their lives. Consider figures such as Elon Musk or Buffett that they keep building and investing because it is a component of their thinking and not just because of the money. Some people are driven by lifestyle but money is a by products of ability and curiosity to many and the only thing you need to get rich is to concentrate on ability and opportunity and discipline otherwise you are likely to burn out.

The wealthy understand the freedom and power that wealth offer them. They treasure that power and will never want to lose it for anything. This is what push the wealthy to keep working hard to maintain their wealth so they remain in that level of influence and respect. They are afraid of poverty because they have to protect their pride and ego. If you have tasted money before, you will understand how miserable it is to be without money.

Wealthy people take advantage of things with loan money. They do not use loan money to take big risk, they use their own money for risky investments or business that is why they are wealthy. I don't believe wealthy people takes advise from people that are not up to their standards because they are not sure those that are not up to their standards can not give them advise that will profit them.

If you have been rich before and later become poor life will be miserable to you, do it is better that if you have finally become rich, you wouldn't want to be poor again.

One thing you should know is that as human being we are never satisfied with what we have we always hunt for more, those are are rich don't want to experience poverty again, one of the worst thing that will happen to a man is getting poor after you have tasted riches.
And when you have money the idea of investing in many sector will be there the poor has the idea of making money and been rich but they lack the capital most of those that are rich now has had some many business idea when they still had nothing and they are living in their dream now since the money is there.

Yes, you are right there is a large number of people who are greedy and their greed has no end. there is a very small number of people who pay gratitude and feel satisfied for what they have. greed is only based on the thoughts of having more. It goes out of limits when we never teach ourselves to be grateful. The perfect example of a greed which never ended has in the minds of our government. they find a chance to make some corruption they did it very confidently and they never regret it. Although they have already more than enough for them and their children and their grandchildren but their taste of having more has no expiry. And there are a lot of examples of those people who had more than enough but their end was something which is learnable. I think it is best to have according to our needs and more according to our desires. Because once we thought to collect then I think we will push ourselves in endless and meaningless efforts.

Then compare the total employees who work for your government and total population living in your country, which one is larger?

I believe more than 50% people grateful with the way they have and they can feel satisfied because if most people can't be grateful, that means the gap between the rich and poor is small. People who're very rich need a lot of poor people, this is the nature.

You see 10,000 people are watching international concert, yeah there are "many people", but you forget if there are 1 Billion of people sitting in their home scrolling their cell phone.

Wealthy folks aren't necessarily content and are always on the lookout to make even more money. The desire to acquire more, I would say, is in all of us. How we go about curtailing the urge/desires is left to the individual. I think it's only natural to want to be better and grow, thus the crave to want to acquire more.
If you have a million bucks today, you'll want to have two million the next day and ideas on how to grow your money would be running through your mind. It's no competition and nothing personal, it's just business  ;)
Also, a wealthy individual can chose to adopt any lifestyle he/she wants. A lot of people would love to have that option, hence the constant drive to increase ones net worth.

What scares most of the wealthy people is being known as a wealthy person, to later becoming less wealthy. Every wealthy person wants to remain wealthy so that their flamboyant lifestyle, status quo will continue to be maintained. The way they can do that is to have several businesses and grab any business ideas or opportunities brought before them because they really know that, if they don't keep earning, some of their flamboyant lifestyle and being relevant in society will be deeply reduced. Making them not respected and known in society as they were before.

It's good to know that having a lot isn't mean you've enough. So there's always objective that you'll need to earn more money if you don't want to experience the setback. And it's likely a disease if you "were wealthy" and "latter become poor". Realistically a lot of people in this position has considered suicidalband option after moving from grace to grass.
On the lifestyles is every humans desires to be able to afford quality needs and living expensively and the more comfortable we're with the lifestyle is the more hungry we should be to put efforts in acquiring more money so that we don't get cut short along the way.
So they'll always say that poverty is a disease and with how scared they're of it, earning more money will keep safe from it.

There’s always an established mindset that the wealthy people should be having more compared to the poor and less fortunate people. So it’s like they should be on the top of others, and they should be leading the whole competition if ever there is. With power, they should be more powerful, and with riches, they should be richer than those other people around.

I believe more than greed, this is how the rich people should stand in the society. They are completely aware that they’re more capable, so they will never stop from a certain point but would always want to grow more and earn more. And the more they will see a healthy competition along with others, they will continue to prove what’s theirs and continue to develop what’s store for them.

Those who don't want to lose their wealth must do something to protect and increase it. This could be investing, starting a business, or any number of other methods. The key is to protect their wealth and ensure its continued existence. There may be many methods we don't know about to achieve this, but the general goal is to ensure their wealth continues.

They must take measures to protect their wealth. Without investment or income, money dwindles. To prevent this decline, they must earn more. This is one of the motivations of the wealthy: their desire to ensure their wealth continues.

Indeed, every wealthy individual has their own set of reasons to "keep going".

Maybe some/a lot of them feel obliged to maintain their activity in getting more
wealthy in order to keep all the staff employed. Dont forget that the super rich
have got to the stage where they dont actually have to do much, they are capitalising
on their employees time.

Maybe its that while they are wealthy on paper they have to keep going in order
to fulfill business credit and loans. A lot of the time they borrow to expand and
expansion needs to make profit.

Maybe they have poured and dedicated all of their time building their wealth over
many years that they dont know any other life, it becomes their normal.

Maybe a common goal is to build generational wealth to pass on to future generations.

There are a few reasons!

For people who are wise in their thinking, they will definitely continue to work until they reach a point where they feel comfortable, such as having a business that is run by several employees and that business runs smoothly without any obstacles at all. I myself have a desire to work with a steady income, but on the other hand, while working, I want to have a business that runs well, so that my income does not come from just one source. I know that running a business is not easy, but what is certain is that everyone will definitely do their best for their business so that it continues to operate smoothly.
Unnecessary or less important expenses should be put aside for now. Everyone naturally wants to purchase various items or assets, but if the situation isn’t stable yet, it’s best not to force it. However, in my current environment, many people are forcing themselves to do so.

What pushes the wealthy? Its simple.
The fear of losing it all. That singular fear of going back to square one or being broke again.
Another is that already ascertained status or fame.
There is also the point of impact and what they have envisioned so far or from an early age. The type that really leave home to feed home Fr fr.
 Another strong one! Is the power of competition. They mostly like to compete.
I think the most important is the power and control wealth commands. Who would like to lose such after taste?

I think that their lifestyle has already upgraded a lot and that's why they need to sustain it and they're pushing for more. Also, OP you're right about they're afraid of being poor again. If the wealthy has a rags to riches story, that's for sure one of the reasons.

Aside from that, they have been used to hustle and so, it's a normal day to them that they keep pushing themselves to the best version of themselves.

That's because they've already beaten their deadlines, reached their goals and hoping to reach new milestones.

this is funny, you cant be thinking what pushes the rich or wealthy people to acquire more wealth. for your information the rich are afraid of becoming poor, because when a man escape poverty he never wishes to be there again. in fact everyone is afraid of poverty and when opportunity to escape it comes, they never hesitate to do so. and when they do, they never want to go back there, it is simple as that.

Although not every rich person is trying to be more wealthy because of competition but of course some do that. but majority are doing it to escape poverty forever and building or creating wealth for their children or family.

of course that is it.

in conclusion everyone want to be rich, and when you become rich you will wish to be richer. the desire to be wealthy has no limitation, it is endless. the more you become rich the more your problem increases and also your spending, for that reason you will need to keep on pushing so that billing will not drag you to the mud. one thing i understand about being wealthy is that to be rich may be easy but maintaining it for a longer period is what matters, that is why you see some people that where once a rich and wealthy man are now poor, because they lack the discipline to maintain the money.

Note: a rich man not desiring to increase or push his wealth to another level is as good as going back to poverty. life of a rich man is like riding on a bicycle which to maintain balance you need to keep pushing the pedals.

Well for me I do think all people want to have the most money we can have. Even a wealthy man will say he still wants to make more money then he does already have.
I think it is just how us humans are. There is people in the world that has Billions of dollars and they still do work very hard to make more money.
I do not understand why they do this but we can just look at worlds richest people. They all do still work to make more money. Even the rich people that has enough money they can not spend all of it still do work.

To me what I just seem to understand is that everyone always wants to get more money, no matter the kind of wealth they have already gathered. It may be because everyone just wants the recognition of being at the top. Everyone wants to be noticed and seen as the best.so, the desire to remain the best or to be recognized as the best is what keeps most people working harder and constantly gathering wealth. Life just seems like a competitionespecially when it comes to wealth.The fact is, our bodies are naturally lazy. If we had the opportunity to relax all the time, most people would love that lifestyle. But the drive to get to the top is what motivates almost everyone to work harder and keep making money.

Honestly the question about humans wants and needs being satisfied and contented is very deeper than we can imagine, generally standard of living will keep increasing and it can be very hard for a reasonable person to be contented and satisfied with their current situation without considering upgrading which of course will keep taking place from time to time, this increase the urge and desire for more wealth not only for sustainability but also for upgrading and in other hands most people approach this as way of competition among their peers.

Almost everyone is like that for various reasons and I think that pursuing wealth is a common thing and I will do the same, we will continue to seek profit from the various jobs we do even though we have achieved wealth because in essence humans will never find a sense of satisfaction for the wealth they want or have and that is also what drives us so that we can see how rich people continue to develop various kinds of businesses to achieve much greater wealth.

Wealthy people keep chasing more money for a mix of reasons and it’s not always about greed sometimes it’s fear of losing what they’ve built the memory of once struggling can push them to keep securing more.For others it’s habit when you’ve trained your mind to always look for opportunities it’s hard to stop that drive they don’t know how to slow down because creating and expanding is part of who they’ve become.

Ambition also plays a big part not just to be richer than others but to build something lasting many aim for legacy they want their name tied to empires innovations or foundations that survive long after they’re gone. Of course lifestyle can’t be ignored the bigger the life the bigger the bills keeping up with yachts jets estates and massive projects requires continuous income streams.

Another reason is relevance being wealthy puts them in positions of influence and power stepping back often means losing that spotlight so many keep moving to stay relevant in business and society.Do you think at some point it makes sense to stop chasing and settle with what they already have or is the chase itself the reason they stay sharp and ahead.

There are so many reasons. First of all, money is never enough. When you earn a lot of money and buy things that you always wanted to buy, then other more expensive things appear in life and your appetite grows too. More luxurious restaurants, better clothes, better women, luxury cruise, hotels, cars and so on. At the same time, there is a fear and the competition. You have a running business, right? So do others, so, what if someone's business becomes better than your business and your income goes down? There is a huge potential that they'll close you and if they close you, your income will go down. No businessman wants that, no rich person wants to work for others like a slave. Then everything becomes an unhealthy habit and that's why that many rich people have all the money but do not enjoy the life.

A high number of wealthy men' stay active in their industry not to go out of form. Momentum is what drives all wealthy men'. Losing it would be worst than going bankrupt. Because they'll be no much impact to add in the business or industry when all their interest moved away to a life filled with vacations and expensive lifestyles. Rich men go on a break, but will come back to go ahead with the business.

In where I live there is a saying that is often said by people "a lot of flour that we can make cakes" means rich people have a lot of economy, So it's easy for them to open up several businesses that can produce the economy, flour is nothing we can do, nothing.

The era of advanced technology today, by having a lot of money, the money can be varied to make more money, so that the rich people get richer, that's how life in this world.

That's why the rich get richer because they already have the advantage of spotting opportunities. Therefore their wealth becomes an advantage for them, making it easier for them to seize more opportunities. Therefore those with advantages (such as wealth or networks) can more easily access opportunities, resources, and support that strengthen their position. This allows them to invest, expand their connections, and benefit from conditions that facilitate their continued growth.

The rich will continue to develop their businesses to maintain their wealth and avoid bankruptcy. Furthermore as someone becomes richer their expenses also increase due to necessities and vacations.

No mistakes on that, yet the rich don't lick lavishing life to its last drop, they work really hard to remain in good business shape. Of course they're to meet more expensive needs and wants, that's the main reason they're not supposed to slack. Many rich men got carried away by expensive lifestyles and ended up broke and low on effort at same time. It's never easy anywhere, failure has not barrier only those who stay strong at the top endures the stress of being there.

Inflation haha just kidding bro, they need money like we need but their expenses are higher than us obviously, if we are not poor but nowadays poor people are also spending money like they are rich haha. Rich people have to pay taxes, manage their finances and other maintenance cost because if they are too rich like they have their own private planes, then those are not cheap.

They are worth millions of dollars and whether they are using them or not they have to pay the maintenance and other repair fee and even have to pay the pilot if they have hired one.

Some rich people love to love a simple life so they are just focusing on new endeavors because of their discipline and they love to explore and test new things but those who have bought too many liabilities in this era, have to make money to pay the bills.

Good times will make you lazy and bad times will make you hardworking. So, look at the past of those rich people who still chase after money despite having enough money, they were not rich before. In the beginning, earning money was just a necessity, but later it became an addiction. So you will see that the rich people of the world, despite having mountains of money, keep looking for new ways to earn money, they already have so much money that they cannot enjoy even 10%. This is mainly for his successors, so that his next generation does not have to work hard like him. An honest advice is, earn money in an honest way and spend it according to the need and leave it for the future, use the rest for charity.

You have actually raised a very thoughtful topic, but just as you have said, the fear of going back to poverty, that's actually one of the fears of so many wealthy men, because so many of them came from a poor background, and they know what it's like to be poor, and they strive everyday coming up with new ideas on how to make more money and how to be more successful, and they make sure they archive that aim so they and their generation will not fall back to poverty if the wealth is well maintained, and talking about competition yes so many wealthy men strive further, to make sure they they get more wealthy, just because they want to compete with top most richest men in the society, they want their name to be at the top of world richest men and all of that, that actually a good reason you mentioned there.
But to me, I would actually say in my own sense of view, rich men strive for more wealth just because to them, that's a way of life, they can't just start and stop just because they feel they have enough, that's how the mentality of a wealthy man should be.

It seems to me that all these factors are true. They make different people get rich by changing their way of thinking and sticking to it. In my life, I saw an example of a person who got rich only because he loved what he did and believed in his strength. He studied from work and developed, while living very economically. As a result, his lucky hour came and he got rich.
For me, this is surprising because he lived with his wife, and a lot of money from the family budget is spent on women.

I wouldn't compare wealthy people of my country to wealthy people of the UAE or the United States. Since I don't have experience living and having conversations with wealthy people from these countries, I'll talk about my experience with local wealthy people in my country. What pushes the wealthy here to keep looking for more ways to make money is that if you are a working class here, your life miserably sucks. Without working two jobs, it's impossible to pay the rent and for food when you live alone, so when you know that there is such a situation in your country, you don't want to live in that reality and you try to earn more money. At the same time, to be fair, it's very easy to start a business in my country and it's very easy to employ people for a few bucks because that's how it works here. I would say that the easiness of creating a business and a very low pay rate make everything extremely easy for wealthy people in my country. This and the fear of losing money is probably the reasons for pushing them further.

What pushes the wealthy to want to become wealthier is determination to stay on top, they understand that wealth can vanish if it's not sustainable. I believe that wealthy people have phobia for poverty, they are afraid to become poor like the those that comes to them for help. This is the reason why most financially wealthy people will do almost anything to become more wealthy because it is better to go from grace to grace than descending from grace to grass. Everybody wants the good life and those that have it knows that if they relax they might not be able to compete with other wealthy people.

Why is "money is never enough" though? I mean I have never been a wealthy person so I do not know how it works, maybe if I became wealthy then I would want more too. But weird thing is, when I look at from where I am standing, if I have one million dollars in the bank, like cash, tomorrow, then I feel like I will never need more money.

That doesn't mean I will stop working, but I will start working for not money but for fun and do something that will probably not make money. Like I would learn painting, and paint all day, work really hard, but we all know that painting will probably not make me money. Or I will write a book, which we all know won't sell millions, so I will just be doing it as hobby. But more money? Like why would I need or want more money?

Fear of poor is the motivation of people who have awareness of the actions taken daily in my opinion.
Factors that make people work hard in various ways to make money because they want to live life with convenience, what they want can be realized as long as related to needs is not a lifestyle. Luxury or lifestyle is a bonus of these results that cannot be questioned, just need to remember how tired the struggle before becoming rich.

According to Adams Smith, he said that human wants are insatiable, which means even the rich men want to get richer. This is human nature, everyone wants to grow above his or her present level in life.
Another factor worth knowing is that, every one is afraid of poverty, if you were once poor or you are from a poor home, and God helping you , you become rich today, you will do everything humanly possible not to return to a poor person again, now think about this, even the poor want to become rich, because they want to escape poverty and so the wealthy people don't want to come back to poverty.

If a wealthy man suddenly says he has stopped working ,can his stored wealth take care of him and his dependants? some of these wealthy people you see have so many dependants, even some of them render help to the helpless ones and give hope to people they are not even related to. So they want to continue doing all this things as they progresses in life .If as a wealthy person you stopped working, is possible that your level of income can slow down and your earning power reduced, and no wealthy man want it so.
