Different people find satisfaction in different ways. Tycoons like Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch are driven to build empires -- they strive over decades to increase the dominance of their companies in their markets. Many Wall Street bankers are driven by the desire to make money -- even when they are already rich, they still want more. Other people, like Michael Jordan, are driven to win one championship after another. (Incidentally, MJ tried to take a spritz -- twice -- and it didn't quite work out for him. He had to get back in the game.) Another group of characters -- the serial entrepreneurs -- get their "fix" from creating and flipping companies. It sounds like Levchin is the latter type. It's in his nature. He couldn't take a spritz even if he tried. I think Max deserves praise, not criticism. In his endeavors, he's creating wealth, jobs, and happiness for millions teenagers who get to display animated slideshows on their appalling MySpace profile pages :)
