FTR this is not uncommon. My wife works for a mid-level startup, and I was having dinner (cheap chinese takeout, not super fancy stuff) with her boss and he had just got off the phone rejecting a pretty large offer from a defense contractor for his business - he lived a good portion of the year in the back seat of his car, occasionally living in a AirBNB or friend from collage's coach. He could have made enough money to retire, especially living out of the back seat of his car and starting up his business using WiFi at a laundromat, but thats not what his dream was. He wanted to make an impact in city. Call it chasing unicorns, but from people I know who knew him pretty well, MZ is a similar breed.
