You cannot get that rich without money being the motivator.

Yes you can. Money is a medium of exchange. Stock is a medium of exchange. But they buy the ability to effectuate your will in the world. If you have a vision of the world money, human capital, political power are not the measure of success or the goal. They are the instruments of executing a vision.

Some people aren't motivated by money, they are motivated by reputation, or pathology.
