IMHO:  At that point, I would say the only way he can go to sleep "richer" is to spend time developing and enhancing his relationships.

I agree.  Balance and at what point is "enough"?  More I work, more I achieve I noticed the bar keeps getting raised.  I suspect he needs to find a balance too, once you get past satisfying Maslow's Hieachy of Needs, I do not believe more money makes a person "happier".

I never think that and don't identify with it. I think he is missing something in his life.

Sounds like too much pressure to me. I prefer to focus on going to sleep having made the world a nicer place every day.

I’m sure a lot of people at his level of wealth think the same way. It doesn’t bother me because I've learned a few things from him. He’s all about the law of attraction.

Kevin is just a character on the TV Show Shark Tank.  He's probably a much different person in real life.

Good morning Susan. Kind of sad if that is the way he thinks, but if that is what motivates him each day, more power to him.

 Good Tuesday mornings Susan. And that is how the wealthy make more wealth. Money is an energy and they work on ways to keep this energy flowing into their lives.

Susan Emo - I can imagine Kevin saying that type of quote. 

I guess he now finds it more profitable to be a shark rather than (a) a dragon only or (b) a dragon and a shark in the same season.

Susan the first step is to change the definition of wealth.  Some day Kevin may realize that true wealth in this world is not necessarily an accumulation of money, and until that time there will never be enough money for him.

I think that must be what motivates him and defines his sense of success - to each his own said the old lady as she kissed the cow - as my mother used to say.

He is an investor, that is probably a good mindset for him.  I don't do it, but if I did, I'd probably be on overdrive.

im pretty sure he doesnt mean money. he means more winning. not the money that comes with it. he actually is really into his relationships. but he sees business as a way to keep score, to be smarter, to compete and win. we wouldnt look at a star quarterback and say he was sick to pursue another super bowl..but we bash kevin for seeking more wins, measured in money...

Susan,

A lot of what is said is scripted to evoke the type of response you have.  When we were being interviewed on a show,  we were given scripts on how to respond to other panelists comments.  The more outrageous, the more audience attention...We did not follow directions...no more appearances for us.  A

I find it sad as well.  With that level of wealth I would expect my waking thoughts would be what adventure will have have today since I don't have to worry about money.
