> This happens with people who are deeply insecure.

I hugely disagree here. You can feel insecure and try to better yourself. Alternatively, i've seen very secure people (financially at least) being at the apex of self-justifying greed. The number of people who try to buy a conscience or justify "their" spot in this world by whichever myth they suscribe to is way too high. Way too high.

You are looking at the topmost layer and missing most of my point. Extreme financial security, especially self-made, is often compensating for insecurity.
