Since childhood, Basecamp founder and CTO David Heinemeier Hansson had pondered what life as a millionaire would be like. When Jeff Bezos took an interest in Basecamp, the company Hansson founded, he became what he had dreamed of: a millionaire. But he soon realized that while he was immensely privileged to be in this position, becoming a millionaire wouldn't actually complete him. Instead, he focused on things he already knew he loved, and dedicated himself to those passions.
