I'd just think "Sweet, we're set for life, and I can spend all my time with my wife and kids." Why would I sacrifice that kind of life just to see numbers on my bank accounts go up in a way that no longer meaningfully affects us?

I'm sure there are a massive amount of rich people with this mindset. we just don't hear about it cause the few that keep on getting wealthy for the sake of power ruin it for everybody
