Money is power. That's it. He gave too much away and it killed him. Money can totally bring happiness. It has the power to do anything humans are capable of. It is merely the lubrication in the machine of any goal. In the end, he chose poorly like he often did sounds like. The money just amplified those bad habbits. He was never grateful for what he had in the first place. He took the cowards way out from the responsibility of all that power and possibility. He had a support group but seems to have squandered that more than his money. That is the saddest most pathetic thing any of us can do. Ask for help when you need it. He was to much of a "man" to do it.
