The life and times of Tony Hsieh (being a billionaire must be boring)

Featured Replies

Another article not behind a paywall unless you’ve read too many Forbes articles. 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/angelauyeung/2020/12/04/tony-hsiehs-american-tragedy-the-self-destructive-last-months-of-the-zappos-visionary/?sh=6936cedb4f22

Sounds like a guy that was had many destructive behaviors and did not deal well with the psychological impact of covid lockdowns and isolation choices by others.  Odd how he paid others (double their highest-ever salary) to hang full time with him over this past year.  And that he went on a electronic “diet” that removed him from all electronic communications from friends/family. When you have documented substance abuse problems, nothing to do, unlimited finances and surround yourself with paid friends, is there any surprise that he crashes?

His friend Jewel (singer) has to fedex him a letter to warn him of what she was seeing with him.  

Quote

At 3:34 a.m. on November 18, first responders arrived at a New London, Connecticut, home, which Hsieh, generous to the end, reportedly purchased for a former Zappos colleague, Rachael Brown, with whom he maintained a very close relationship. (She could not immediately be reached for comment.) While several people escaped the main house, Hsieh had reportedly locked himself, either intentionally or by accident, in a storage area. He died nine days later, from what the coroner termed “complications from smoke inhalation.” The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

holy fuck. 

Dying nine days after a fire, does not sound like an ideal way to die. It’s gotta far down the list of how anyone would want to go.

Yeah, got a real Crazy 8 feel to it -
