While wealth can bring with it some unconventional problems — such as being denied an invite-only Ferrari and accidentally destroying swathes of coral reefs with a 300-foot yacht — most other problems that the rich face may not be as esoteric as we think.
They dismiss rich people's mental health concerns as insignificant and of diminished importance," Paul Hokemeyer, a clinical psychotherapist who treats the ultra rich, told CNBC.
Paranoia and distrustWealth can cause people around the super rich to view them as objects, Hokemeyer observed.
People who are rich tend to be of higher social status, and those who live in diminished states of power are often drawn to them.
Against this backdrop, the super rich tend to become more suspicious of people's motives in associating with them.
