As we've observed, the most successful startup founders are usually the ones who are not doing it for the money.
So in startups at least, it's closer to the truth to say that the way to become a billionaire is to be passive about your interests.

financial interests, maybe, but not "the thing you are most interested in" interests (=passion). and sometimes those align, no?

It would be amazingly insightful if they meant it in that sense, but it's pretty clear from context they don't.
