What I don't get is why some of these guys just cash out when they're near the top.
Guy was 29 and had some 20+ billion dollars to his name (supposedly). Leave the trading firm to a few folks, keep a bit of equity to enjoy the continued success, and that's it! Just walk away, call it a day and enjoy your life. Same could be said for Zuck - except he had like 25 or 30 billion (not adjusted for inflation) at the same age. I just don't understand it.
NINJA EDIT: changed the amount of money he was apparently worth. Wiki said it got to 28 billion.
