No. It is called an exit-strategy.

Mark Cuban became a billionaire by selling a domain name to Yahoo.

Now he is a reality TV star.

To be fair, he used some of that stardom to get Shark Tank to drop the automatic 5% equity grant just for appearing on the show, including retroactively to previous entrepreneurs.

That's orthogonal.

You can have an exit-strategy, or become a billionaire, or a reality tv star, and achieve it by acting bad.
