Bad example. Bill Gates was notoriously work-obsessed. I remember reading about how in the 80s he had a girlfriend who left him because of what he called "8 hour turnarounds", meaning he had to be at work 8 hours after he left it. He didn't get married until he was the richest man in the world. (I think. Wikipedia says 1994. At any rate he was certainly a billionaire by then.)
