Once was speaker before a few hundred recent grads and asked if they wanted to be a billionaire. Only a few raised there hands.
My theory is most people want more stuff, few really want to be billionaires, or even just part of the 1%.

Or it's unreasonable to expect to be able to, and few people dream about stuff they know can never happen. To avoid disappointment.
On second thought, I do actually want more stuff too, I'd love to have my own welding/machining workshop.
Given your username that's redundant :)
Being a billionaire also has downsides, it will be much harder to tell people that genuinely like you from people that are just trying to get into your good graces because they are after your money.
Indeed, there are so many projects I want to work on outside of my real job.
I'm sure it would have many downsides as well, although if I could attain a high level of wealth and remain relatively anonymous it could be the best of both worlds. I do think fame would be very hard to deal with, especially for someone with my personality.
