The article cited by the link that says that there's diminishing returns on that directly says otherwise.

Assuming you're referring to this article: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/jan/07/can-money-buy-happiness

Not really. It discusses a few studies and some anecdotal evidence and doesn't conclude anything.

However, a more recent study, published by researchers at the University of Michigan in 2013, challenged the idea that the positive effect of money plateaus.

Note that the plateauing of a positive effect and diminishing returns are not the same, despite the articles not making that clear.
