And ironically the money, you spend to become a citizen, could actually be spend building a proper life in the country of which you want to become a citizen. A couple of millions buy you a nice flat in France/Germany/London and leave enough start-up capital for you business. Meanwhile you could learn the language and culture and pass the tests eventually.

A couple of friends did acquire a second citizenship even though it has absolutely no advantage to them. They just felt, that they identified with the nation they are living in.
