I think it's a bit of both. You need to have low morals or be a narcissist just to become Uber rich since it's inherently exploitative to make that much money. Then once you have the money you are protected from most things because you can pay money to make it go away. So then you start getting into weirder and weirder things, or it just becomes more of your focus since you can afford anything you want.
