The men who won't give up
Article Abstract:
There are a considerable number of entrepreneurs in the UK who continue to invest in new businesses, even though they are extremely wealthy and do not really need to work at all. They seem to flourish through taking a gamble on a new idea, and are not necessarily motivated by a potential financial reward. Some go into retirement for a short time after making a large sum of money on a single deal, but they soon find that they miss the excitement of being involved in new business deals.

In some cases, they have recognized that it is advisable to pass responsibility for the overall management of their business to somebody with more experience. This is what happened to Internet Security Systems founder Chris Klaus and to US Web founder Joe Firmage.
