If you have no real value to offer society, then your only choice is to go for the money.

Those people you mentioned had huge value to offer the world and the world beat a path to their door. The money just happened. But if they were flipping burgers instead of donating their billions that wouldn't fit into their piggy banks, I bet their quotes would sound different. In their cases, they don't have to even entertain thinking that way. So they probably aren't good examples.

Someone who is at that equillibrium state between it being about the money or about the passion and value would be better to seek advice from.

But judging by your title, you really only want to hear from people who will support and verify your position...tell you what you want to hear, so to speak, so you really need to chat with your club, not a forum which is, by definition, an open opinion group.
