本研究專注於探討位於社會金字塔頂端的富裕群體中，幸福感的來源會是財富自由或是心靈的滿足呢?透過對5位高資產人士的深入訪談，深入訪談內容中，分析出幸福感的來源分成8個項目，再向173位高資產及一般資產人士進行問卷調查，最後透過迴歸分析，本研究試圖研究財富在塑造個人幸福感中的主導角色。研究結果表明，金字塔頂端的人士們，雖贊同心靈滿足的重要性，但最強大的幸福來源仍然是財富第一。因為金字塔頂端的人士們一致認為，無論心靈層面的滿足到何種程度，財富的積累和管理仍是他們生活的主要驅動力。
本研究中透過訪談及問卷呈現了一個非常有趣的現象：儘管許多受訪者參與慈善活動、精神實踐或藝術欣賞，尋求心靈的平衡和充實，但他們仍然明確表示，物質財富的增長帶來的安全感和自我實現感是無法被其他任何事物替代的。本研究不僅擴展了有關財富與幸福感相關性的學術討論，也為理解金字塔頂端的人士們在現代社會中如何平衡物質和心靈需求提供了實證基礎，強調了在追求財富的同時，也需要關注個人的全面發展和心靈健康。

This study focuses on exploring whether the source of happiness among the wealthy groups at the top of the social pyramid will be wealth freedom or spiritual satisfaction. Through in-depth interviews with five high-net-worth individuals, in-depth interviews were conducted to analyze the happiness The sources were divided into 8 items, and then a questionnaire survey was conducted to 173 high-networth and average-networth individuals. Finally, through regression analysis, this study attempted to study the dominant role of wealth in shaping personal happiness. Research results show that although people at the top of the pyramid agree on the importance of spiritual satisfaction, the most powerful source of happiness is still wealth. Because people at the top of the pyramid agree that, no matter how satisfied they are at the spiritual level, the accumulation and management of wealth is still the main driving force in their lives.
A very interesting phenomenon emerged through interviews and questionnaires in this study: Although many interviewees participated in charity activities, spiritual practices or art appreciation to seek spiritual balance and enrichment, they still clearly stated that the increase in material wealth brought The sense of security and self-actualization cannot be replaced by anything else. This study not only expands the academic discussion on the correlation between wealth and happiness, but also provides an empirical basis for understanding how people at the top of the pyramid balance material and spiritual needs in modern society, emphasizing the need to pay attention while pursuing wealth. Holistic personal development and spiritual health.
