I vote for the more mundane:

3) Bored mega-millionaire wants a neat hobby to try for a year. His previous Amazon compensation for 2021 was $56 million[1], so it's not like he needs to try or make money basically ever again. 12 months later he's still bored. Maybe he quit to spend more time bathing in bathtubs full of hundred dollar bills.

Probably not but who knows. My own experience is usually these type of people keep going for quite a while. It’s how they make it to where they are.

IME you don't make $56 million by being the type of person who is looking for a neat hobby to try for a year. It's not about the money for these types. If it was they would've retired long ago, before they became top lieutenants.

Some of them talk openly about running companies as a hobby. You need something to do with the remaining decades.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he got passed over for the CEO job at Amazon, and was quietly ushered out the door.
