Some people may think that doing pleasant work where you have total control and make lots of money is indeed the most interesting thing you can think of. Especially if you have the freedom to tinker with random ideas and enjoy the people you work with. I am in a similar situation (well, probably not making as much money) and I do find it very interesting. At this point in my life I wouldn't want to lead a company with a limited runway and investors eager to find a buyer for it. I still get to play and experiment with new technologies, and I use some of our profits to fund at least a couple of interesting projects per year. I could do this for decades.
