All the money in the world couldn't fix "other people".
To that end, all the money in the world couldn't fix "me" to no longer find "other people" to be a problem that needs fixing, even if I wanted to be fixed in such a way, and I don't want to be different to how I am.
And I'm not even sure it would be better if it were possible to fix people - their deepest flaws are their greatest strengths, and they continue to be selected for due to their success. Ultimately it's all just an irrational fight against entropy, so whyever would I expect rationality anyway - except in that way that it's commonly used, to mean improving things for yourself relative to others even at the expense of better overall strategies for everyone including yourself.
I can only think I'd put enough into funding an all expenses paid solitary and free life for myself to continue to futilely ponder measures to make things better, and to give the rest away in some way or other that temporarily corrects for inequities before it quickly runs out and everything goes back to how it always was and always will be.
Large amounts of money are for people who want to socially compete with other people with large amounts of money, to try and at least maintain their relative standing but preferably to gain more than their competition, especially if it disrupts the plans of others to do the same in return.
That is of less than zero interest to me.
Money will always flow back to the people who are interested in such nonsense, meaning nonsense will always rise to power and prominence, and thus inequities will always be rife around the world to the detriment of all.
