He's the richest man in the world partially because he's desperate for money. Being bottomlessly greedy is a necessary prerequisite to being a multibillionaire, any normal person would retire before they get there. And although he's one of the wealthiest people in the world, his wealth is dwarfed by that of the Saudi state.

Maybe they promised him free rocket fuel and a launchpad where he doesn't have to care about safety. Complete speculation on my part.
