>I find it a little unsatisfying when people write these things without telling me roughly what they're worth. "Rich" can vary wildly depending who you ask.
As long as they don't need to work for a living ever again, and they'd still have a house, health coverage, food on the table, vacations at will, new clothes, new cars every few years, money for their kids and their kid's college, and diversified enough for covering whatever market issue, that's rich enough - doesn't matter if it's $20 million or $1 billion for the purposes of "I'm bored with no purpose" the author is getting at.

Yeah, to most of the world, I’m rich. To a significant portion of other Americans, I’m rich. Yet, my lifestyle is wholly dependent on working for somebody else. No work, no house, no car, no medical care, no fun.
“I’m so rich I’m lost” - worst humblebrag ever. Get a therapist. Or go for a long walk in the woods. Sheesh.
