having or showing a selfish desire for wealth and possessions

How could it be more spelled out than that? Do millionaires and billionaires not have or show a selfish desire for wealth and possessions more than, say, people who are not very rich?

Grandpa h.
Maybe his point is that we aren't any less greedy than the billionaire just because his greed shows more. Put in his situation, we may have the same selfish desires as he does.

On the other hand, the claim that this billionaire is greedy is no less true if a greedy person makes it.
