If you use your wealth and power to help the poor, feed the needy, house the homeless, care for the old and orphans and doing good in this world, then you are doing the right thing.

You can donate most of your wealth to charity when you die. Leave just a bit for your children so that they will not be lazy. Let them learn to build up their own wealth so that they too can do good in this world. I don't plan to leave so much for my children. I am spending my time and wealth to do good, to make the lives of others a bit better.

The path to happiness is not the wealth itself but the journey of acquiring the wealth in an honest way and then spending it for the betterment of your family and the needy around us.

The more you give to charity, the happier you will be. The giving does not only mean giving up your wealth but also your time and your effort.
