1. The Pursuit of Success and Wealth:

A) Capitalism and Individualism:

Many wealthy people believe in the capitalist credo wherein success and material wealth reward hard work, ingenuity, and/or risk. From this perspective often comes a further insistence upon personal responsibility, a reliance on one’s self, and the notion that anyone can be wealthy if one just works hard enough.

4. Personal Fulfillment and Legacy:

A) Stoicism and Minimalism:

Nevertheless, some other wealthy men subscribe to philosophies such as Stoicism that taught one about self-discipline, and ethics, and that true fulfillment could only be derived from within rather than outside wealth. It may lead to personal fulfillment, good morals, and a legacy bequeathed.

B) Existential Reflection:

Wealth could give rise to existential questions about the meaning of life, the nature of happiness, and the worth of material success. Rich men may turn to philosophy, religion, or spirituality in search of meaning that is deeper than their financial successes.

The philosophy of rich men is never homogeneous; rather, it is the result of an interaction between personal credo, societal norms, and historical environment. While some might be obsessed with self-interest and the protection of their wealth, others may act based on their sense of responsibility to use one’s resources for the good of all.
