Either way, if I ended up with $100 million ($600 million * stock crash) I’d probably retire. It’s mind boggling to me when people with such wealth want even more. Take the guy who stole tech from Google and went to Uber. Google gave him enough to live out his days doing whatever he pleaded for the most part. Yet obviously he felt like he wanted more - whether that was money, recognition, etc. and lost it all. It’s crazy to me.
Levandowski supposedly left Google for Uber because Kalanick promised him more resources to commercialize self-driving vehicles and make them a reality, but that’s probably a “principled villain” depiction of his crimes (as seen in Super Pumped).
Money is a highly visible, easily comparable, unambiguous “point system.” It’s not to feed their family or anything like that, it’s to prove that they can earn more points and that’s it.
