So 5MM per year is all disposable income. How much more does someone need to make to support their lifestyle? You're retired - You're worth 100MM - you earn 5MM per year - you have zero debt...

Call me old fashioned... but I think that's a pretty good life and lifestyle.... and I personally wouldn't be inclined to gamble that lifestyle/life to make a little bit more. I think my Jet and my Yacht and my waterfront house... and all my Ferraris and race cars would be enough to keep me busy and worry free.
Its always the "tail" that runs you over....lol (ya know what i meen about "tail" right ) JK of course, but i've seen many a man spend waaaaaay to much on their "girls". Like you said, "dumbass".....greedy bastards imo
