  There is an interesting article titled [It's not easy being a billionaire] by Michael Johnson, published in Business Times on 5 April 2008.

  The author said that there is no such thing as having enough money, for the super-rich agreed that the more you have, the more you worry about it.

  
  Studies have shown that once a person has sufficient money to meet his basic needs, more money does not add anything more into a person's real happiness or well-being. While Spiderman can said that "With great power, come great responsibility", billionaries will said: "With great riches, come great unease."
