That's not true at all. Rich people are just as interested in providing for their future, and that of their families, as anyone else.
Read 'Stark' by Ben Elton.

Quote:
"Stark has more money than God and the social conscience of a dog on a croquet lawn. What's more, they know the Earth is dying. Deep in Western Australia, where the Aboriginals used to milk the trees, a planet-sized plot takes shape. Some green freaks pick up the scent. A Pommie poseur, a brain-fried Vietnam Vet, Aboriginals who lost their land ... not much against a conspiracy that controls society. But EcoAction isn't in society; it just lives in the same place, along with the cockroaches.
Sold over a million copies, fantastic.
