I would guess they could have watched that money and been able to maintain a very, VERY good lifestyle for several hundred years for ALL of them and their descendants.

It may be power. It may be risk taking. It may be showing a belief that a private business can do better than a government agency in building and running a small city. It may be building a legacy. It may be their jab at leaving a lasting chapter in history... or it could be about the money.

Most people who go into a business of their own may be doing it in part, to satisfy their ego.

But along with their ego trip, the main criteria for doing so is the almighty dollar.
Being successful pads their ego and fills their pockets -- the more, the better.

Yes, the developers have done and are doing and will continue to do -- more developing.
Why not? They have a good product and a captive audience in the form of ongoing retirees.
And you "suspect" it isn't about money??? Surely, you can't believe that!

They most certainly aren't doing it for the betterment of mankind.
It definitely is about the money!
