This man is calling anyone that does not become a billionaire a failure and those that get it a "success".
This binary thinking is beyond stupid. It is a reasonable thing with hard work to become millionaire and to earn more money than what you need. It is a reasonable thing to work on interesting problems with interesting people.
Once you have enough money your are not going to get happier with more money. On the contrary, with billions in the bank you can not do normal things because people could want to kidnap your family, and people around you are faking all the time their true intentions. You are being asked for money all the time and so on. You can trust nobody.
Most people that get into YC are going to get enough of those good things, but not too much, and this is going to make them to be in the top 5% in the world in satisfaction.
