If it helps, I think it could be because people value more the things they struggle to obtain. Going from zero to 7.5 million is life changing, and you might be thinking "why struggle anymore hen I can live comfortably?".
I can relate a bit. I studied my career in another city, so I had to take a bus at 5 am every day to attend class at 7 am, studied and did homework until 8pm, and took the bus back to be at 11pm in my home city. It was brutal, but I was young and it felt good to accomplish my goals with my own effort.
A semester later, I got the opportunity of a cheap rent with a couple of roommates, and my motivation tanked. Stopped attending classes, became a night owl, wasted my time playing games, watching TV, reading, and taking long walks. Fortunately I was able to study and pass the finals thanks to the great friends I made in the first semester. Without them I would have failed.
I asked my roommates "what's your motivation to attend school?", and they told me it was their parents; they wanted to proudly show them their university degree. I had no such motivation, and didn't even desire that much the degree myself.
Years later I understood that motivation comes from your own 5-10-20 years plans. I didn't bother then to make a life plan, it would have helped me tremendously with taking school seriously. I suspect you did make a life plan, and that plan boiled down to make a lot of money. Now that you have a decent sum of money, it's time to adjust your plan. How do you see yourself in 5, 10, 20, 50 years from now?
