Seems okay to me. I think people could easily work well up to a point and then once they are wealthy or the money they are making is ludicrous they would stop thinking about the work and start thinking about the money. It reaches a point it's not about what you do, it's about how soon you finish so you can get to the large chunk of money.

I'm not saying it's correct. I'm just saying I don't find it unduly counter-intuitive. I know my own work habits aren't linked to money very strongly.
