When it comes to self-made millionaires and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), a lot of myths and misconceptions dominate public perception. From how they accumulate wealth to whether money can truly buy happiness, many of these assumptions are simply not true. Let’s break down some of the most common myths about the wealthy, using real data to separate fact from fiction.

Myth 1: More Money Doesn’t Make You Happier

Fact: More money does lead to greater happiness—especially by improving life quality and reducing stress.

While the old saying goes, “money can’t buy happiness,” recent research shows that wealth does contribute significantly to overall life satisfaction. Earlier studies suggested that happiness plateaus at around $75,000 a year, but more recent research from Matthew Killingsworth at the University of Pennsylvania challenges this. Killingsworth’s study found that happiness continues to increase as income rises beyond $100,000, and for many, it keeps rising well past $500,000

Why? Wealth offers greater freedom from financial stress, better healthcare, the ability to outsource chores, and more time for meaningful experiences like travel or hobbies. These factors improve life satisfaction and allow people to focus on personal growth and relationships.
