"No one knows for certain how many single-digit millionaires live in Silicon Valley. Certainly their numbers reach into the tens of thousands, say those who work with the area’s engineers and entrepreneurs. Yet nearly all of them still have all-consuming jobs, not only because the work gives them a sense of achievement and satisfaction but also because they think they must work so much to afford their gilded neighborhoods."
Most of those interviewed consider themselves "accidental millionaires." They didn't set out to make so much but they did anyway. Lifestyle isn't only about how you live but your ideals about how you should live your life.
I really doubt that they intended the life they have but they still seem to think that grinding away at work is what they need to do. At 80 hrs a week work isn't a part of your life but it takes up all of it. There is no room for family much less hobbies.
They even realize that moving to someplace like Kansas City would completely change everything. They would be really wealthy there but they are still working class in California.
