Past a certain comfortable dollar amount, who's to say that greater fame and social standing are necessarily sillier than more money? It wasn't even clear that's what he was after from the article. He came across as a bona fide entrepreneur who was executing successfully and wanted to take it to the next level. SF looked to him like the best place to do it. I'm not sure whether you're arguing that he's always been a pseudo-entrepreneur, or that he remains the real deal but miscalculated in moving to an area rife with fakers, or that he became a faker by looking for a deal or acquisition offer when he should have kept doing his own thing, or whether you're trying to point out the uselessness of a certain personality type, of which he happens to be a poor example.
