"You don't understand billionaires because you're not a billionaire. I, on the other hand, watched a satirical TV show, so naturally I have a deep understanding of how the minds of billionaire heirs work."

The parent even contradicted himself.

> Up to a certain point, more money doesn't make your life materially better.

> It seems incredibly presumptuous to assume you know how the minds of children of billionaires work and what they aspire to have.

Not a contradiction. I've personally reached a point in my life where more money isn't making my life better, so I'm prioritizing other goals.

Then again, I'm far from a billionaire, so perhaps there exists a valley of money disillusionment that I'm currently in, and more money starts getting desirable again further up the wealth ladder.

> Not a contradiction.

Apparently, you misspoke because you're now limiting your view on the value of marginal dollars to your view (v. a general truth above).
