You can't take your money with you when you die.

This has been a folk lesson against greed and ambition in many cultures. There also have been wealthy people following this saying as a reason for philanthropy. In fact, many ancient royalty were buried with a lot of what they had when alive, including people who were added to the grave along with gold objects. But it is all still there, when the grave is opened, by thieves or archaeologists.
