I think the initial quote better addresses your point 2

> Money won’t buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a large research staff to study the problem. - Bill Vaughan

Also, Zaphod: If he was asked at this moment where he would like to be he would probably have said he would like to be lying on the beach with at least fifty beautiful women and a small team of experts working out new ways they could be nice to him, which was his usual reply. http://www.otostopcu.org/yazi/h2g2/b2c7.php

Where did you get that "Little people don't understand me"?

On two pages I read I seen nothing like that.

What do you mean by little people. Curious. Literally little or small minded?

Presumably the same sense as meant by Leona Helmsley:

"We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes"

I find that most people who make their wealth through their own work don't have this kind of attitude.

Of course, I don't know any people worth a few billion, only paltry millions.
