’s not like he was cut out of the game, he just wasn’t interested in money or success the way Jobs was.

You really buy that? That's some bullshit someone says when they got fucked over and know they'll lose and come out worse if they try to get what's rightfully theirs.

Woz himself has said as much. The guy has more money than he'll ever be able to spend. He's fine.

That's why I said:

Don't get me wrong, I don't give a shit about the contentedness of any of these treasure hoarding shitdragons, but there never has been and never will be a person who is fine with getting ass fucked out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Even Muskrat is throwing an endless tantrum and fucking up people's lives over a bad deal, even though he did it to himself on purpose.

Hi, you don't know me... but for a single hundred million dollars, you can ass fuck me out of as many hundreds more as you want.

Sounds like a deal.

Not to stand up for jobs, but from what I've seen of woz, I can totally believe he wouldn't see more money as worth the bother. From what I've seen: If you're making 36k a year, your are obsessed with opportunities to get more, no matter who you are. Your life is financially difficult and any chance to overcome that is worth it.

If you are making 200k a year, you start seeing different sorts of folk.

Some will not stop until that number is as big as it can be. Their lives will be consumed by that as a "high score"

Some care less about money and more about titles and conspicuous status symbols, like a coveted office.

Some are happy to just do their work the way they like without having to worry about the money anymore, or to work on hobbies and afford to walk away from working.

I know folks that are 200k as "bird in the hand" money and chasing bigger numbers is worth considering, but they are more concerned about risk to their perceived status or working conditions than pay.

Take one of those last sort of folk, get them to tens of millions of wealth and they are likely happy to just stop thinking about the money, even if it means they are sonetimes the chump as a result.
