[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We take a lot of baller vacations that cost a lot and I'm not willing to give that up anytime soon, lol[/quote]

Same. We have a little under $40m.

Maybe work a few more years….would be happy at $75-100.[/quote]

What kind of vacations do you take? Rent a yacht at 100K a week?  Own multiple vacation homes that are $$$$ to maintain?  I am trying to imagine what type of work someone does who has NW like this that they love outside of managing a successful business where employees run it and there is no day to day work.  I know some successful business owners like this who don't go to work every day, but they still have enough stress that they dream about selling it and retiring.  What is it that you do that you love so much that gives so much money without you dreaming about retiring with a very healthy sum to afford luxury lifestyle, but needing multiples of this for what exactly? Are you investing actively, that's all you do?[/quote]

The most important question to ask is how those who work a lot to earn major coin have time to take these many lavish vacations. [/quote]

CEO 
We go away at least 4-5.5 weeks a year (not counting weeks at summer home ; working remotely there).

Generally working everywhere but all good.[/quote]

CEO as well. Will spend at least 8-9 weeks away this year, working during some of those trips.  
Could easily retire, but the hope of more $$$ (another $40M+) and just enjoying the job keeps them at it. Will likely retire once the younger kid is out of college and launched

This is crazy. Why not slow down and enjoy the $$$?[/quote]

We do enjoy them.  But still 3-4 years away from the original target retirement date—just turned 47.    Also made commitment to other employees/execs to lead them thru this next phase and wants to honor that.    So sure don’t need to work but wants to (and loves it 95% of the time) [/quote]
