You could be beholden to investors who bought in at a higher valuation than the offer.&lt;p&gt;2.  Never-having-to-work-again can only be measured relative to a sustainable lifestyle, so this turns on what kind of lifestyle you want.  If you are content to live in a one-bedroom apartment in Topeka you need a lot less money to never-have-to-work-again than if you want a ten acre horse property in the Hamptons and a private jet.  To sustain that kind of lifestyle without working takes a hell of a lot of money.</text><parent_chain><item><author>ipnon</author><text>What’s the game theory of rejecting life-changing, never-work-again money?</text></item><item><author>MikeDelta</author><text>The market cap dropped from $17.8 billion to $104 million.
