What if those people holding massive cash but don’t know how to grow their money? They might gradually run out of cash due to unreasonable and wasteful spending of money.

Money can’t make you rich.
Skill matters most.
Think of the richest people in the world without skills
Some of the richest people in the world are Carlos Slim Helu, Bill Gates, Bernard Arnault and Warren Buffet. Imagine this. Let’s say, we give them plenty of money but we take their business skills, investing skills, or software skills out of their life, could they become what they are right now?
What makes you rich either?
You have already a hint above. It’s the skill or talent which makes you rich. According to dictionary.com, "skill is the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc." We are born with unique skills or talents in different fields. The more talented you are, the higher you get paid. The higher you get paid, the richer you become. Consider those highly talented people in sports and entertainment.
