Would this be the ideal set up for NYC living? Does anyone live this 'dream' life?

I was just thinking If you were mega rich and say a CEO imagine this set up.

Penthouse with helipad, and a country estate right outside NYC. You could skip all the traffic and sleep at your country estate on a weeknight if you wanted and get flown back into the city.

Anyhow I am just dreaming

All the money in the world.

None of the time or peace of mind to enjoy it.

A life left grasping at material signs of "success" to cultivate acclaim, hoping it will fill the void in your soul.

All the helicopters in the world can't save your second daughter from a heroin addiction born from an abundance of things but an absence of parental attention.

Then you get prostate cancer at 61 and die.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.

...That escalated quickly. Pretty accurate though I'd say.
