Chris Roberts is still rich, and could probably retire right now without worrying about anything. He could tank the company, and he wouldn't care.
When has any really rich person ever gone "you know what? I actually have enough now..."?

Wozniak is probably the most famous example. He recognized the corrupting nature of money, decided he had enough, and stopped to live in comfort and occasionally work towards causes he finds important
