So I know a ton of wealthy tech bros who came from poor families. Many from dirt poor families in India and China
After they've amassed a certain amount, it entirely becomes a social thing. All their friends are other wealthy tech bros. Their partner is also a superficial wealthy PMC or a hot gold digger. Their families admire them for being successful. Their self worth and identity becomes their job title seniority and work accomplishments
These people starting off working so hard to achieve material comfort for themselves and their families that by the time they've made it, they've forgotten why they starting working so hard on the first place, and so working hard is all they have left (yes, they actually work hard. I never see them do anything but code or meetings the ENTIRE day and they also log work for hours at home later)
