I don't think anyone is saying anyone NEEDS to do anything. These people with a bunch of money simply decide that they WANT to.
Are you proposing they not be allowed? That after you hit some arbitrary number of accumulated wealth that you are forced to watch paint dry and disallowed from engaging with the rest of the world? How would that even work?
Your personal sense of morals may label this as undesirable but it's very hard to think of any consistent legal framework for enforcing it past maybe "take their money if you think they have too much money (ie more taxes). Even in that scenario they are allowed to invest what they've got though.
