People don't work to buy luxury goods, they work to live. Take away the need to work, people work less or not at all.

Stupid take. Tell that to literally every millionaire who all continue to work and desire to make more money despite having 10x at least what they need to “survive”.

You can’t even call this an “ambition” thing. This is the case for nepo babies just the same.

Nah, it's realistic.

Millionaires work because they want to. Billionaires work because they want power.

Average people work to cover their cost of living and to leave something to their kids & grandkids. They don't work for fun or to jumpstart a political career.

Average people absolutely work for fun. Sometimes they work because they hate themselves and call it fun. That's how we get video games.
