One can earn a lot of money but cannot provide all the services required of them by themselves. If you have lots of money then you may be able to purchase the things available for sale. In this case, you cannot manufacture all the things you need. You can be manufacturer but what about labor and machinery needed to manufacture the things. Definitely, you will need human resources and other resources to do anything. Earning money a lot doesn't mean that everything is in your hand. You can take an example and think deeply. You will find that no one can be totally independent in this world. Level of in-dependency may vary person to person.
