Seems illogical. Why did he buy a super-mansion in LA and go partying in Ibiza? Did he really want those things? If I got billions I would set up an enclave to withstand future societal collapse, like somewhere in Siberia.
Oh poor him. There's a rather easy fix for this if he chooses.
and what would that be? I feel like people here are trivializing his situation without really trying to understand it.

I don't judge. I would probably be the same in his situation.
I got the impression from the article that Markus is looking to the money and saying "money, are you making me happy?". He is spending it partying and dancing and doing gods knows what in Ibiza. He appears to not find happiness in that either. For me I find happiness in having a small number of true friends, trying to have the best family relationships I can, trying to be as fit as I can be, being a good father, doin…
He has a history of mood issues and blogged about how his father killed himself due to depression. [0]
He is a human being in trouble.
You can do better, HN.

A common refrain of the rich, and especially the newly rich, is difficulty in cultivating such "true friendships". This is especially true when it comes to romantic relationships. The impossible to know if someone like you for who you are or for the money you have.
Notch makes a bunch of early-morning tweets, these get dissected in the press with sentences ending in ", no really" and explanations of how much the toilets in his new mansion cost. And now the comments (even in here) mock him. He has a history of mood issues and blogged about how his father killed himself due to depression. [0] He is a human being in trouble.
