A recent study found that money is not linked to happiness, according to a Harvard Business School study.
Researchers questioned 2,000 millionaires in a study that is the first of its kind to focus only on this level of wealth.
HNWIs seem to believe that true happiness is elusive, in spite of their wealth and can only be achieved by raising greater wealth.
Professor Michael Norton, who led the research, asked a group of the richest investment bank clients surveyed to rate their happiness on a scale of one to ten.
They were then asked to determine the value required to reach optimal levels of satisfaction.
All the students gathered that they needed to double their fortunes at least three or three times for the happiness they wanted.
But the study found that the wealthy with a wealth of more than £ 6 million are happier than those with nearly £ 1 million, which means that levels of happiness can be achieved with money, but real and absolute happiness can not be met with money.
This comes only a few months after scientists discovered that human genes are involved in wealth levels in societies. A study of more than 20,000 people in the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand found that those with certain genetic differences earned more money , Get better careers and have greater education opportunities.
