What is the best pay vs lifestyle dream job?

What are the best opportunities available out there to make the most money, without sacrificing the majority of one's waking hours sitting at a desk? I am specifically referring to desk jobs or being tied to spending xx hours every weekday at a workplace. Any of you considered entrepreneurship or any other paths that has worked? Please enlighten me
