This example is called the parable of the lost fool it is found in The Bible in the New Testament in the book of Luke.
Luke 12:15 And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."
Jesus says this before He tells the parable.
The parable of the rich fool illustrates the fact that possessions are not the principal thing in life. Because of an good crop, this wealthy farmer was faced with what seemed to him a problem. He did not know what to do with all the grain. All his barns and silos were full to capacity. So he decided to pull down his barns and build bigger ones.
As soon as his new barns were built, he planned to retire. Notice his spirit of self sufficiency: my barns, my fruits, my goods, my soul. He had the future all planned. He was going to take his ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
But then his life ended suddenly and all his material wealth was nothing to him. Worldly treasure is nothing.
