Captain Eli(@TheCaptainEli):In 1999, shortly after becoming a multi-millionaire from selling Zip2, Elon Musk took delivery of a McLaren F1 and said: “I could go and buy one of the islands in the Bahamas and turn it into my personal fiefdom. I’m much more interested in trying to build and create a new company.” He chose building over luxury. That decision led to PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, and everything that followed. Source: 1999 interview
