It is a mental health problem when it is simply the way their hoarding disorder presents. Some people hoard cats, or old cars, or random junk, but these people hoard money.

What else could you call it when they accumulate so much money that neither they nor the next 100 generations of their heirs could ever spend it? If someone had so many cats that she had enough cats for generations of her family, you'd get her help, and remove the cats from her custody, and distribute them to people who would give them good homes.

That's what we need to do with these mentally ill money hoarders.
