He's got a place to live, and food to eat, and he spends 200% of his time at work. At that point money is really just a thing that idles in the bank.

That's not at all how most rich people behave. They want more money, and they wanna make sure nothing stops them from getting even more.

No, money is the thing you use to allow yourself to spend 200% of your time at work. Private tutors to school your kids so you don't have to. Cleaning services so you don't have to spend time cleaning. First class plane tickets so you can relax, sleep or work on the flight. Private driver or Ubers so you can work while driving places. A personal assistant to book travel, appointments and everything else mentioned so far.

        Uber XL or black (need space and comfort to work efficiently) for 1 hour a day probably adds up to $200/day or around $50k/year. Which isn't cheap. edit: That's a rough estimate and probably a low estimate. You'd be using Uber for commuting, going to work social events, driving kids on weekends, driving out of the city on vacation, etc.

      >The average private driver salary's is about 60k a year according to Google btw Wow, that's crazy. I pay 28000USD/yr in London, most of my friends pay about the same.

        Wow, you're lowballing your chauffeur... Explains why mine loves working with me.

      Presumably this would be a perk provided by Airbnb directly rather than employed by the CEO himself?
