I'm pretty sure that guy didn't go around telling people "I'm rich but I only do this job because I like it."

  I don't understand this comment. He literally did tell a person this. > I discovered that his portfolio was worth more than $4M and I asked him why he was working at IBM if he was "rich". His answer was that he enjoyed working at IBM, you could just "spend" stock as you would lose out on future growth, and what would he do with his time if he wasn't working?

    There's a difference between answering a specific, pointed question versus openly advertising the fact.

      Yes, but I don't see how this is a useful insight at all. People keep all sorts of things to themselves unless asked and even when asked.
