I don’t really want to focus on an individual’s career/financial decisions. I agree that in a just world, successful impact should be rewarded handsomely. But fwiw on the practical questions, I’m reasonably confident that:
Joey has influenced significantly more capital via AIM, Elevate, and other projects than he could have reasonably expected to donate via a for-profit career ex ante. Indeed, a key benchmark to compare impactful career options is a comparison to ‘earning to give’.
Joey is very thorough and systematic in his career choices, and I would guess he considered for-profit entrepreneurship and rated it lower EV (at least for him at that particular time).
