Charles Foster Kane is portrayed in the movie as a man who has everything one could ever want. ... Power and wealth to Kane are the epitome of success, and although he claims, or at least tries, to be happy he truly is not a happy person. As Kane begins to learn that the things he wants most in life he cannot purchase, so to do the people with whom he surrounds himself with. When Kane ran for governor, he tries to use his wealth to overpower his opponent. This backfires on Kane when his opponent threatens to use information about an affair Kane had to force him from the race.
