Some of the occupations were strange and you’d never expect there was any kind of money in them.
In my youth I worked as a camp counsellor and had the opportunity to work with kids from some of the most well known families in Calgary. It was banana’s listening to some of the stories of private planes, yachts, and vacation homes. I could never really wrap my head around that kind of lifestyle and yet the kids seemed somewhat normal.

People are people. We're all primates, even if some have impossibly large piles of bananas.
Most people on this board probably have the lower tiers of Maslow's hierarchy pretty well covered, and you don't reach the higher tiers by standing on a pile of cash. People with very high net worth can struggle with those aspects of life just like everybody else.
