How Much Money is Enough... What's your Number?
akd: The very fact that this question has been asked demonstrates the reason that the biggest companies are founded by people who are truly "not in it for the money."Most of the numbers here are under $10 million. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, could have all sold their companies very early and had plenty of F-U money with a few extra Lamborghinis to boot. But it was the vision of creating something bigger than money that kept them going at it, even though it could all fall apart, and that's why we have the amazing things we do today.
