He has never had those riches; apparently he has never been exposed to them or taught about them.

Can he be moved by a painting, other than his perception of its value or how it appears on his gold wallpaper? Has he ever taken music lessons and felt the thrill of how his ears and brain work? Has he ever read literature and been mesmerized or pissed off or puzzled by it? Has he ever kicked back with people who are rich, poor, in between? Has he ever challenged himself to manual labor, even painting a fence or learning how to repair a lamp? Has he ever had to take care of a dying or incapacitated relative? Has he ever watched the stars from a gravel bar on a river? Studied a language? Grown his own food--hell, prepared his own food? Planted flower seeds?
