Stereotypical example to support my case: business executive who "loses everything" - multimillionaire who loses more than 50% of his net assets overnight thanks to a stupid business move - and then goes on to commit suicide. Even after losing a lot, that person still has a higher social status & living in a higher class than 80% or more of the general public, still has his trophy wife, and most people would still consider him to be successful in business. Yet, he doesn't see it that way & offs himself.

Well here's a case for being socially successful. To know and have people behind you in good times and bad makes one emotionally fulfilled. So then wouldn't it be better to be socially successful if it means you will have connections to just about anyone for any situation?
