    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.

        "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.

                  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.

                        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.

                                        Gabe Newell is better than many others, but this is true, the best man on Earth will become an absolute pissbag given power for continuous enough period of time to realize that.

                                        And the best man on Earth is probably some volunteer medic in some African warzone, not a computer programmer and a tech businessman.

                                          That includes some bad people too ... Well, I dunno how bad, just a certain Larry Ellison still loves working, or so I've heard. Or Bill Gates.
