Is Money the Medium by which earthly success is measured?

We live in a world where culture, religion, politics and economy affect our activities, from going out, making friends and associations, relationships and so on. While growing up, we have certain ambitions, and we pursued these ambitions with the intent of making an impact in our world and living a legacy for children to come. The name Darwin is associated with Science, Adam Smith is associated with economics, and so as many other names, but it looks like things have changed over time.

I remember reading in the Preface of the richest man in Babylon that Money is the medium by which earthly success is measured, so I begin to ask myself, Is money really a measure of earthly success?

If I ask, there isn't anyone who dived into the world of cryptocurrency just for the purpose of enjoying the crypto market while losing money? Do people do business for the purpose of feeding others or providing their needs, without any monetary value to be gained? Is it possible that a person's success isn't measured by money?

When you wake up in the money, do you look forward to achieving success without having a monetary value attached to it? This is one question I find it hard to get answers to. I asked 10 people randomly on the road, what they calculate as success and they said it revolved around money, but then I asked 2 people who I know are financially stable what success meant to them, and they said something else, not related to money. Could their response be as result of being their financially status, making them think differently? Maybe because they have achieved financial success, they can think of achieving other type of success?

I want to know your opinion; Is Money the Medium by which earthly success is measured?

Measuring earthly success has several connotations, for example, from the biological point of view, earthly success is to be able to reproduce as a species, from the spiritual point of view, earthly success is to live in peace and harmony with our fellow men, but maybe from the social point of view, they are imposing that earthly success is measured by the amount of money we have.
