It was done on wealthy millionaires.
No matter how rich they were, with so many luxuries, they never felt they had enough money.
If they could have more money, they would be happy finally.

Even the richest guy the researchers interviewed felt the same way.
So nothing is ever enough.

It is a money addiction.
And they will destroy everyone else to satisfy their addiction.

We don't really know what people will do until they are in certain situations.
The famous Stanford prison experiment in 1971 showed that ordinary people
will quickly sink into violent behavior when conditions promote it.
