    Sure but he’s also now just in the world of “so much money I’m having trouble spending it.”

    But don’t feel too sorry for him, as he has already sold around $8 billion worth of his Facebook stock since 2015, helping him amass a fortune of over $10 billion, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index.

    “I’m taking some time off to do things I enjoy outside of technology, such as collecting rare air-cooled Porsches.”

    While I fully support his decision to leave, I doubt the $1bn in Facebook shares was a massive concern. It took him 4 years to leave after the acquisition.

      Willingly condemning himself to the wretched life of a niche luxury car enthusiast. So brave.

      Jk, kind of-- His decision does actually seem principled and honorable, but this context is germane.
