A billionaire's response to some basic questions

[biophase]

RJ Kirk’s (worth $1.5B) response to questions from Forbes -

How much vacation time to do you take each year?

I avoid enforced leisure. I have considered one of my personal missions to be "the optimization of the average day" and I have been successful enough at that to consider the typical day to be wonderful.

What is your benchmark of success? When did you reach it?

I do not possess even the bench on which to make such a judgment. It is for others to say whether I am useful or not.

At this point, does money still motivate you?

Money never motivated me, but seeing something that I had a hand in creating turn into a structure that is tangible to others, e.g., within which people live and raise their families, is a thrill beyond all imagining. Whether selling a greeting card or a motorcycle or building a company, one finds satisfaction throughout life in seeing things become more and more real as they reverberate into the world.

Describe your life in five words.

I decided to be happy.
