There should be another word for it.

"Work", for most people, is a thing you have to do until you die or retire.

"Work", for rich people, is a hobby that you can quit whenever you want without suffering dire consequences.

Same word but totally different meanings based on your net worth.

Indeed, also most wealthy people I know don't really worry about their PTO, asking their boss if they can travel when necessary, explaining to someone why they were out of the office playing golf, etc.

Most of the wealthy people I know work plenty, but they also do it on their schedule and make it fit with their priorities.
