Maybe Zuckerberg isn't passionate enough about it? Like buying a stock and then 2 years later you don't want it anymore, so you get rid of it.

Ok, what are you supposed to spend your money on then? I wonder if the author realizes you can't take your money with you when you die. Is the point of money to just accumulate it and then pass off the balance to someone else? Even if
