I wouldn't be capable of keeping millions of dollars because I'd be using it to make the world around me better, which is not only why I'll never get that much, it's why rich assholes don't tend to do nice things unless it somehow leads to them getting more money or if they're dying and have a crisis of conscience.

"If I had millions of dollars..." discussions are almost pointless because you won't. That isn't the sort of attitude that people who are capable of amassing money have. It's what the adage "there are no good billionaires" is based on. It takes willingness to fuck people over to get that amount of money in the first place, and they're willing to step on everyone else's faces, put themselves into positions where their tendency to put themselves first at the expense of everyone else, and manipulate their way into positions where they can do these things without being questioned by anyone who has the power to stop them.

Whether you're the type of monkey who hoards bananas for the sake of just having more or finding yourself with a hoard of bananas because of the way you are, there's something already wrong with you. It's just easier to tell that something is wrong with you when you're sitting on a pile of bananas that you'll never be able to eat. The same problems exist in monkeys who don't have a hoard of bananas, but it manifests itself in different ways.
