Maybe he knows that what he's doing right now is and will be more beneficial to the world, than say what he could achieve as the POTUS.

And more enjoyable by far than spending 1.5 years on the campaign trail.

Then spending the majority of his time as POTUS travelling to do fundraising dinners.

The article is all about how that is how his life already is...

But he is the worlds richest man and doesn't need to "fund raise"; he cannot be brought.

Doesn't he already do more fundraising with his foundation than most (any?) politicians do? I'm sure that sort of charitable fundraising is infinitely more rewarding, but in terms of the motions is it that different?

He does a lot, but really, fund raisers work as politicians on the side, rather than vice versa.
