I would probably write more code as I wouldn’t need to sit in meetings! That said, I’d be pickier about who I wrote code for.

Who you wrote code for? If I were a billionaire, I'd be done writing code for other people. (I mean, users, sure. Not employers, though...)

Working in a company with other people can be way more fun than coding solo.

Yeah dude, I would spend all day writing scripts to optimize my World of Warcraft character instead of fixing obscure OS bugs

I'd probably do it on a megayacht while cruising around aimlessly too..

In a previous job, the owner of the company would do all the fun parts of the engineering -- the brainstorming, the rough specs, the prototypes -- and leave the details and grunt work to everyone else. He was having a ball.

I think I'd write a lot more code, but it would be very different than the code I write now.

To me, this is a much more relatable reaction to being a billionaire than all the ones who become obsessed with politics and posting and grievances.
