This matches my experience, as well. As the wealth continues to accumulate beyond the norms of the community, the plateau tends to waver and decline. I know of no happy billionaires. My definition of wealth would be an abundance of resources valued within a person's community, and my definition of wealthy would be something like possessing 2+ standard deviations more of those resources than the mean for the community.
How many billionaires do you know and how did they get their billions?
I met a billionaire real estate developer once. He was pretty philanthropic and seemed happy.
