Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It's absolutely mental illness!

Having a net worth of 270 billion dollars is not synonymous with 'having 270 billion dollars'

If you're a billionaire intent on becoming even wealthier, that usually implies that you really enjoy being a successful businessman. I don't see why business success for its own sake would be inherently less satisfying than other sorts of accomplishment.
