He's already his own boss, the whole point of f-you money is being able to tell your boss, "f you!"

That means you can either go for the lump sum or the annuity, either one gets you out from under The Man.

Yes exactly. Also why would anyone need more than $50k/m? Even if you have a family?

Costs and tax goes off but my profit margins is somewhere from 80% to 90%. Mostly server, mail and map costs.

Not to mention he could probably have f-you money if he accepted an acquisition. So I would say that he is double smart for not doing that and continuing to build.
