<p>I would guess that the most successful and respected people (on Wall St or elsewhere) are not motivated simply by money. Would someone with $1B net worth really be motivated by the thought of making some more money? </p>
<p>Why does someone like Paulson, who is 63 and has a net worth of over $700MM, take a job in the public sector? If Soros cared so much about his money, why has donated over $6 billion to charity?</p>
