Money can buy happiness but it doesn’t necessarily do so. It only works for people who can actually be made happy in the first place.

Some people will be miserable fuckers regardless.

And some people use their money to buy a lifestyle that eventually makes them very unhappy, most often because it isolates them and humans are generally a social animal.

I say this as someone who is generally happy and who is definitely happy with my money situation. I know a lot of people as rich or richer than me who are not happy, though. Simply because they do not share the reasons for being unhappy that poor people have doesn’t mean they are happy. They are just unhappy for reasons other than shortage of money.
