To start my own company and become a billionaire in ten years time so that I can fully concentrate on pursuing other life interests for the rest of my life. (I don't mind becoming politically influential as I intend to use those powers for the good (no seriously) but that is secondary.)

You can probably pursue your interests with a lot less than a billion dollars! YMMV depending on your interests, of course.

If, for example, you were able to build a business that could bring in $300k-$500k net annually without requiring you to spend all of your time on the business, what percentage of your life interests would you be able to pursue?

Not a lot of them, about a third only, and certainly not wholeheartedly with gay abandon, which would be a shame as I am really want to do things wholeheartedly with gay abandon. My milage does vary (MMDV).
