She took all she had known up until that time in her life, and as an 18/19 year old, she decided she would use it to conquer them all and have complete control.
It was all she knew, and all she could figure out how to use and work with in order to meet her goals.
She met those goals, and it's safe to say that she will not fall under anyone else's control again. But due to the trauma, and the "survival switch" being flipped on (you can never go back)... she can't stop now. She never feels safe/secure enough. It's never enough.
It's a very common situation among rich/successful people. The lack of sleep, the constant goals geared toward "more, more, more" and the inability to feel secure even though on paper everything looks solid.
Because to have an empire is constant upkeep work, constant responsibility... constant jumping through hoops to make sure you keep what you have. It's a catch-22. You amass the wealth and notoriety in order to be "safe" and independent... but it comes with a huge weight.
