Are Some Wealthy People Stupid ?

In order to get rich most people have to be single minded. They must never become distracted from their goal of making more and more money. In some ways this does make them stupid. They have no idea how people who have devoted their lives and the majority of their time to living and being happy actually enjoy their life.  The must be stupid! Why else would a man with great wealth spend the waning years of his life running for office instead of retiring and spending time with friends and family in beautiful homes and vacation spots? I would be in my new Corvette on HW#1 driving up the coast or in my luxury box of my favorite team or in my multimillion dollar vacation home or on a world tour or on my plane on my way to Hawaii for a day or two. Why make all this money and not enjoy it? I could see if he wanted to give it away to build schools and Hospitals to help people but run for President? I just don't get it.

Who cares if your name goes into the history books? Am I missing something here?

Would someone please tell me why wealthy men, who are also old, want to give this man millions to run for office instead of doing something worthwhile with it?
