Why retire after your startup succeeds? Why not just start doing something fun thats is not easily monetizeable? The idea is that you can have some real freedom. You can work on whatever you want. You can start another startup or continue your education or anything you want you can even start a music band or go traveling or anything that you find fun. Thats why people love money. They are a means to something, not a goal. You don't just get rich and then live some happy rich life, you get rich and get to do whatever you like, if you get rich enough, you could ignore laws too. I know a lot of people who if given a lot of money their first reaction would be to buy a lot of booze and celebrate. I have a friend who if given that amount of money would buy a biology research center and just play god with nature. My first reaction would be to buy a turn table and some 70's punk records or something, and then maybe a guitar. People want different stuff. And money gives it to them.
