Debris field found in search for missing submersible

I don't know the guy, but this seems off the mark. If he wanted to get rich, spending 11 years on a money losing operation seems an unlikely choice. My take is that it was a passion project, a passion he shares with apparently a substantial number of well-to-do people.

I don't judge.

Just because you spent 11 years on it losing money doesn't mean it's not in the interest of money. See: serial gamblers.

Yeah, chasing “money” seems off the mark. Chasing “thrills” or “glory” seems closer.
