Quote by Benjamin Franklin

He does not possess wealth it possesses him.

He does not possess wealth it possesses him.

Summary

This quote suggests that the individual in question has become completely consumed by their pursuit and acquisition of wealth. Instead of controlling and utilizing wealth for their own purposes, they have allowed it to take control over their life and identity. Their attachment to wealth is so strong that their actions and decisions are solely driven by the desire to accumulate more wealth, ultimately causing them to lose control over their own priorities and values. Ultimately, the quote implies that the person has become a prisoner of their own wealth.
