Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000". (www.bloomberg.com)

Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It's absolutely mental illness!

I have a lot of entrepreneur and VC friends. One of them always says that it isn't about the money. He says "Some people have fun playing video games, board games or Dungeons and Dragons. This is my Dungeons and Dragons".

He says it a lot so shout out to whomever can guess who he is. Hint; he's Austin based.

Exactly this. This is their life's work. It's what they are good at and what they love. And often tbe only thing. They would not know what else to do.
