    I just dont understand miney obsessed people. Why the hell do you need multiple yachts? Why even work at this point when you could just … not? You would still afford everything you ever want without ever checking your bank account. I just dont get it.

      He probably enjoys working. Lots of people like to feel like they’re making things happen

        That includes some bad people too … Well, I dunno how bad, just a certain Larry Ellison still loves working, or so I’ve heard. Or Bill Gates.

      I would 100% still work if I were rich. The only thing that would change is when and what I work on.

        Yup, if I was worth an obscene amount, I’d still work, but the nature of my work would change. It sounds like he found something he enjoys that happens to make a ton of money.

          That’s the dream really. Whether that thing you love makes money or not, that’s what you can do once you have enough.

            Exactly. I have a few ideas for that, but I’m not nearly to the point of funding them:

            • start/join charity to help people get out of debt
            • create a game dev studio to make my dream games
            • finish building my P2P Reddit alternative

            I’m working on the last two in my spare time, but I’m not willing to quit my day job and rely on the those to pay the bills. If I got a windfall, I’d consider it, but of not, I hope to be there in my lifetime 50s. We’ll see.

            I’m sure many (most?) have something similar.
