These guys are a huge inspiration for me and my personal work. I really love their approach to technology, and I wish there were more people exploring alternatives to the tech co/startup/capitalist grind. (Maybe there are? Recs welcome)
Kindof an interesting pattern here.
Also,
I've always assumed they can do what they do because they're independently wealthy though maybe that's not the case?

One take on 'unique financial situation' would be that they're independently wealthy, another would be that they don't have liabilities like a mortgage or children (though a boat certainly costs money to maintain...).
