I’m mostly just interested in the first one. That peace of mind is peace, and that’s good enough value from the treasure trove of value from the meaning of life for me.

The thing is returns start diminshing faster than people realize. Once you get yourself housed, fed and clothed its much more of a hamster wheel than people are often willing to admit to themselves, at the expense of their own happiness.
Kanye has peace of mind?
Once you cross into fame and multi million or multi billion (Kanye, Elon), that sweet spot is nothing to them. Their sweet spot is influence, impact, and the like. In their bracket I think few reached a sweet spot without tarnishing their desired presentation. Someone like Bezos is looked at as a villain, so he didn’t get it. Bill Gates is one or two allegations away from affairs and Epstein stuff being leaked. Warren Buffet is somewhat at the sweet spot but he is a much older man who doesn’t need the validation that Elon needs. In other words, their sweet spots are about as hard to hit as our sweet spots (financial well being).
I think all of the folks you mention really don't give a crap about what people think of them.
