About this Quote

This quote by Russell Simmons is a pointer that cash does not always bring happiness. Despite having tremendous wealth, billionaires may still be dissatisfied. This quote recommends that out of the 15 billionaires that Simmons knows, 13 of them are not content with their lives. This might be due to a variety of reasons, such as feeling unsatisfied, having actually strained relationships, or dealing with mental health problems. It is a suggestion that money does not constantly bring happiness which it is very important to focus on the important things that really make us delighted. It is likewise a pointer to be grateful for what we have and to not be too focused on material possessions.
