How do I get our money tree to look or grow more like the ones you see when you search for them?

I assume it needs pruned in some particular way. Right now the one stalk is growing pretty good, but it seems like it’ll keep growing until it hits the ceiling.

I think it needs cut below the top four shoots, to make it grow two stems maybe, or be more bushy?

Any tips, insight, links, whatever is much appreciated.

    I found an example of what I meant in my last comment. Plants usually have buds like the two examples below: alternating on either side of a trunk/branch, or two coming right out of the same “node” but directly opposite each other.

    I can’t really tell from the photos, but it looks like money trees possibly alternate. In either case, you can see in the diagram that once you make a cut, that particular branch won’t get any longer but the new side-branches will.
