A piece of honest advice - having money doesn't somehow qualify you to start / run a company.
It is great that you don't have to worry about working for a few years, but that can actually be more of a crutch slowing you down than a true success factor - one of the things I believe made my first company a success was not just the desire to succeed, but the need to succeed as "the farm had been bet".
I know this is not the specific question you were asking, and I don't presume you believe this, but just thought its an important distinction to make.
Also as an aside, I would hide the nature of your net worth when talking to other entrepreneurs / startup people until after you have built up a good relationship with them based on other factors (shared-interests, mutual intellectual respect, etc...) - as the goal of many "Startups" is not actually to find customers, but rather to find investors - and what you're looking for are people to learn from / partner with, not fund.
