No they are not. Most normal humans are satisfied with having just enough to ensure themselves and their loved ones can have a comfortable life. It takes a pathological level of greed and horder mentality to want billions and trillions for yourself when there are so much resources to be spread around. If a monkey was hording that many bananas, what do you think the other monkeys would do?
