Lot of rich people need to learn how to properly exit to wealthy retirement like Tom from MySpace did fading away. Don't be Notch and please don't become Zuckerberg or Musk. Just go away and leave people alone.

it's astounding that all rich people don't just do what the locally famous businessman living a town over from me did:
get a nice house in your home town (provided it's not a shit place, obviously) and spend your days living a normal "middle class" life where you can just buy and do whatever the fuck you feel like, just pop down to the grocery store and buy some muffins, why not? That's actual contentment in life, having yet even more money and buying a luxury yacht isn't any better than just going on a cruise with your family every single summer
