Working Class Millionaires
Silicon Valley is full of them: People with very high net worth (compared to the rest of the country… and the world) but still work 12+ hours days.
Yet the same drive that earned so many of the engineers and entrepreneurs who live here their fortunes keeps them tied to the Valley, which resembles nothing so much as a sprawling post-war suburb, though one whose roadways are thick with cars costing in the six figures.
It’s amazing what a frame of reference does for you. There are so many people who are driven by their work and the fact that the Valley really is unlike any place out there.
