Some people just crave power.
Some don't care much for it and are fine with contentment.
But I'm telling you, once you get a taste of some real power. You will never want to go back to being content, ever again. It's impossible to explain in words, you have to experience it for yourself. It's the same reason Hitler wanted to rule the world, why Julius Caesar became the man he was. Why Dr. Dre just became a multi-billionaire.
It's a feeling like none other, and when you taste it. It's like a drug, like a high.
Sure, I want to see everything this world has to offer as well. I want to love and be loved, I want to make love to a beautiful woman every day and be happy with her. I want to see the world and all its treasures. But I also want to be rich, eventually.
"See the world, but don't drop the oil in the spoon."
It's the reason why a lot of rich people are miserable. It's because you have to live your life in balance. Some people are terribly unhealthy and they walk around wondering why they feel so bad every day. Take a Xanax, have a drink. All temporary solutions.
My 2 cents
