In a completely unsurprising story out of Manhattan, NY, the words “money isn’t everything” were just spoken at brunch by someone who, conveniently, has lots of it.

If indeed it is true that possessing X isn't as valuable as it is perceived to be by those who don't possess it, it actually makes perfect sense that it is precisely those who do possess X who would be the ones most likely to learn/know such.

For example, lots of people fantasize(d) about owning a pool. But pool owners know better than those who don't that they're not all they're cracked up to be, and sometimes arguably more trouble than they're even worth.
