To find an everlasting comfort in your life, look at this life as Ibn Taymiyah (RH) suggest. See the life of this world as though it is a Toilet. It is a necessity that you must answer the call of nature, but it isn't worth spending your entire life & energy beautifying.
As a Muslim, this life isn't your ultimate goal. Allaah Has provided so much wealth in this world, for everyone; believer & disbelievers. in Him & those that don't. Thus, Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace & blessings be upon him, said:
“If the world were as worthy to Allah as the wing of a mosquito, an unbeliever would not even be given a sip of water.”

Why then will you attach your entire life to this world & wealth? It is necessary that you look for sustenance from Allah & work very hard for it. But it isn't your ultimate goal in life. You are created by Allah to worship Him alone. Anything other than that is secondary.
While we struggle to look for sustenance (hustle), stealing, robbery, kidnapping, 419, yahoo, eating people's wealth illegally, usury, gambling, & so on are Haram (forbidden) in Islam & every flesh you build in your body with such wealth surely deserves to be burnt in hellfire.
Do not make your priorities in life like the priorities of those that are not Muslims. Put your priorities right. Search for wealth legally, make good money legally, build mansions legally but do not make them your priorities in life. You have something bigger. Hereafter.
