A billionaire says there is no downside to being a billionaire. Why should I not believe what they said?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) October 29th, 2011

On 20/20 Barbara Walters interviewed four billionaires, one being John Paul DeJoria and wife Eloise, of the PatrĂ³n premium tequila, and Paul Mitchell salon brand. When Barbara Walters asked them, what was the best thing about being a billionaire, Eloise replied, no stress, and freedom. When asked, what was the downside, she could not think of any. Why should I not believe? Why should I believe, as many non-billionaires, or multimillionaires think, that people that are as wealthy, are stressful, cynical of being played, fearful of being robbed, and just plain miserable? None of the billionaires Walters interviewed seemed unhappy to have the money. It is just sour grapes of the so-called 99?
