In the end, a rich and famous person is just as dead as a pauper.

Buddhism teaches, "whatever we cherish we shall lose and there's nothing we can do about it".
There can be a more positive outcome depending on the person's perspective. We don't always "lose" what we cherish; it just changes form. Some things stay with you as a memory or a person you loved leaves a permanent mark on your character.
You "lose" the physical thing, but you keep the version of yourself that they helped build. The act of cherishing something, even knowing it won't last, is one of the bravest and most meaningful things one can do.
