Why do wealthy people hit every financial goal and still feel miserable?

Because the financial goal was the only one they were tracking. Kris Kluver, in The Dysfunctional Family Office, sees this pattern across UHNW founders. The house, the plane, the bank account all arrive, and the question still emerges. Why am I not happy. The honest answer is usually that the spouse doesn't like them. The kids don't like them. Sometimes they don't even like themselves. The financial side became the proxy for everything, and the rest of life eroded while nobody was measuring. The fix is to start measuring the rest. Relationships, professional work, resources, and health, all four quadrants of the Balance Wheel that Kris uses with founders. The misery isn't a sign something is wrong with you. It's the wheel telling you the truth your scoreboard refused to.
