Yes, I can understand that philosophy as we all need something to aspire to, something to perhaps achieve. We all need hope. However, none of what we see with those kinds of sums of money 'earned' (gained) is what any of us could ever even hope to achieve in our wildest dreams. For that reason it's looked upon as it is. Nothing to do with the personality of those involved, just a feeling of what that may mean to the individual. For instance – you are where you are (in that s**t pit), I am not there but that's where you will remain!
That kind of feeling / sentiment is made worse, I believe, by the way we are all subjected to the current austerity measures that affect our basic lives. None of this affects those under discussion, they possibly don't even know what austerity is and how it affects 'ordinary' people.
