    I just dont understand miney obsessed people. Why the hell do you need multiple yachts? Why even work at this point when you could just .. not? You would still afford everything you ever want without ever checking your bank account. I just dont get it.

          Clickbaity title. Daily routine stuff is kinda memeish thing to ask successful stuff, and he's trying to be honest about it. He gets to do the light touch management on a lot of fascinating stuff, so it's natural that he wants to do it daily, and he seems to be mixing it up with stuff he does for fun, so it seems like he does it throughout the week, and he seems to have a good attitude about it and looks at it realistically compared to regular work/"horrible job"s.

          Note he doesn't specify times or meals; it's just a rough sketch.

            That's for every individual reading this to decide. It will either mean something or nothing to you.

            Personally, I don't think billionaires should exist. Even the ones that I think have done cool things. And I definitely don't think anyone needs 6 yachts in a world that is burning.

              Except he lives in a yatch and has his own gym, probably people that cook for him too.

                "Bizzare"? That's pretty much what I expected of Gabe. I don't imagine he has to work particularly hard. Most CEOs try to hide how much they don't do.

                The thing isn't that they have constant work to do, but that they must be available for work at any time, for any reason. Some random and unpredictable crisis waking you up at 3am for the 5th night in a row? Sucks to be you.

                      Having known a number of CEOs over the years, they arent the ones waking up for those 3am calls unless it's a business shattering literally apocalyptic event.

                      They honestly shouldn't be the ones taking emergency calls either since most of the time they'll be in the way.

                          He probably enjoys working. Lots of people like to feel like they're making things happen

                              He earned his money. Who cares how many yatchs he decided to buy with it?

                                Scuba diving is not an athletic sport. Air consumption is all about moving as little as possible once you're down there.

                                    The most athletic part is if you're beach diving and have to swim out/back in from the shallows.
