Let’s say you’re lucky enough to be born to the two people who invented The Gap. You attend Phillips Exeter Academy and then Princeton. You use family connections to get jobs working as a fund raiser for Ronald Reagan, and then George H. W. Bush. You go to Stanford Business School and graduate with an MBA. You go to work for a real estate company that does business with mommy and daddy’s clothing giant, and that venture somehow flops.

You are worth literally billions of dollars that you did not earn, but you are 43 years old and bored, and you don’t want to go sit on a beach drinking Mai Tais for the rest of your life.

So, what do you do next?
