I remain convinced that the generationally wealthy need a whole new branch of psychology or sociology to be understood. The human brain was never intended to experience 24/7 surplus and luxury from birth and it's clearly driving these people fucking crazy.

I honestly think it's sad to see people with so much wealth so miserable when they could negligibly impact their overall happiness or wellbeing while helping countless other people. Money doesn't buy happiness, they say, but it actually can for a lot of people. Money can't buy happiness for those who have exorbitant amounts of it, but money can buy happiness for those struggling to make ends meet while living at or near poverty.

These miserable rich assholes wouldn't be any more miserable if they only had 20% of their income and actually worked for a living, but that other 80% could do a lot of good

Apparently "wealth psychology" and "wealth therapists" are an emerging thing but how do you get people to use these services in the first place? There's a lot of people involved in managing this much money, and those people don't want their clients going to a therapist and getting generous ideas.

Not to mention there's probably lot of snake oil merchants in that sector.

Kinda like the art therapist from the movie Parasite (2019). Honestly, I don't blame them.
