So many possible paths in life, don't get caught up in the wealth trap.
Some people seek wealth just to hoard it because they love having a huge number in their banks.
I think the majority just wants to escape the grind. And once you're out of the grind, the world is your oyster.
It’s probably more of a US problem when there are guaranteed solutions but you just can’t afford them.
What doors are you imagining wealth can close?
I think it’s more about the opportunity cost of prioritizing wealth

He just happens to have arrived at $10B because some investments worked out. He could have been satisfied with 'only' $1B or $100M or $10M. It may be that it was simply an 'accident' that he overshot his escape-the-grind number.
And given the number of times he has started (successful) companies, it seems to indicate that he may be more in it for the challenge.
