Consider Maslow's hierarchy: money solves physiological needs, helps with safety needs, may ease but cannot really solve love/belonging needs, helps a little with esteem needs, and does almost nothing for self-actualization needs.
Money is important - you have to solve your basic needs - but money is not everything, because it cannot solve your most sophisticated needs.

Maybe having lots of money indicates that you have achieved self actualization by solving your most sophisticated needs ?
