You can ask the same about a multi millionaire though, no need to be a billionaire to stop working. Many people who achieve things don’t want to sit still and have a lot of things they want to still do. From personal observation (reading articles and meeting people), I would say; the richer, the less inclined to stop working. Even smaller scale: where I live, people with 100ks in the bank and a house are more likely to do nothing but play golf, eat and drink and go out far more than people who have a few million. The latter, even when old (up to 80 and over) cannot sit still and usually are on boards, write books, do up and flip houses, etc.
