I think that’s a very mature, realistic take. Personally, if I was a 60 year old billionaire, I’d probably be having a series of long vacations or chilling in my yacht. It’s cool that bezos is still trying.


Maybe you wouldn't. Maybe you'd find it difficult to walk away from the lifestyle that made you a billionaire in the first place.


Maybe! I certainly hope so. But if my life thus far is any indication, I do enjoy working hard but also have to fight _really_ hard to not slip into laziness, even though it makes me less happy. Something about the delayed gratification of doing hard things -- there is a ton of gratification, but my monkey brain hates the delay.
