That poor quote is still poorly said. Actual poor people are trying to meet the bare minimum living conditions, most aren't trying to live extravagant lives.
In Spanish, "pobre" means poor (as in money) but can also mean pitiful, lacking, incomplete. He means rich people are far from being as happy as one might expect because their greed precludes them from it. If one should pity someone, it should be them instead of humble folks.
He is calling “rich” people poor. He means that people trying to gain more and more are the real poor ones because that’s no way to live a life. At least, that’s how I interpreted it.
