at what point does power truly become a sickness?

by the time you have amassed $X-million dollars and could simply disappear to never be heard from again, what makes them stay only to be knocked off by underlings after their job, by rivals or the law??

what is the need to stay till they are caught or dead unless they are truly sick in the head???

i just don't get it...
