Money "should" bring increased happiness but that depends on the person and their circumstances.
Wealthy people can lead equally miserable lives as less well off people simply because money cannot buy certain things regardless of bank balance: A meaningful relationship, good health, family unity, trusted friends, acceptance or time etc.
If you have wealth but elements of your life are missing (ones where money can't help) having wealth and trappings will make precious difference.
If none of that bothers them, there's always the fear of losing what they have.
But, If you have your ducks in a row (at least the ones that matter to you), money should increase happiness.
Just depends on the person and their circumstances.
