How do you stay sane?

As I progress in life I've been meeting a lot of relatively "high net worth individuals". Ive noticed common trends amongst them through casual discussion (eloquently spoken, well read, etc.) but I've never made it to the point in conversation in which I feel comfortable asking what their hobbies consist of. Obviously I'm not expecting these guys to be gamers and spend countless hours doing something ridiculous, but my curiosity still lingers. For those of you who are successful, established, whatever you want to call it. What are your interests? What do you like to do in your (very limited) free time?

- gym

- biking / running as a team sport

- desert toys

- lake toys / house
