For Naval, the mindset came well before the money did. He's not a person who has had it easy in the startup world; he's had to fight like a maniac to get ahead, including taking legal action against the biggest VCs to get what he felt he was owed, and winning. He then started AngelList to challenege/attack VCs, not live off easy money from them.
