One more time for the people in the back: being interesting and successful will often make you rich, but being rich does not make you successful or interesting. Rich people who tell you it's not important to be rich are playing off the assumption that you're too stupid to tell.
"It doesn't matter that I'm not *that* rich BECAUSE I'm already super rich" is what we in the business call a "tell"

Um, okay. Im fine with everything you said, agree with most of it even. But “your company could’ve been worth $12b” is almost directly saying “you could’ve been a billionaire.” I’m actually not even sure how many other ways there are to interpret that.

I don't know how much of a stake DHH has or had, and had he not said so neither I nor most of his audience would know whether a $12B valuation would translate into personal paper billionaire status for him. Again, this is a tell. You're welcome to ignore it.
