The reality is, anyone in an executive or investor position almost doesn't even have a "job" in the way a salary employee does. There isn't really a unit of measurement other than connections and deals made, both of which may not even help them directly at that exact moment. They could be making deals for other individuals.
Their job is to travel around, meet people, find new opportunities and network.
Go to Disney? Make sure to book the Grand Floridian or Four Seasons (not hardware store) and make sure to let all your contacts know you are in town.
Probably won't even go to the parks, just spend your time meeting with other ultra high wealth individuals.
Going to a conference? Make sure you have 3-5 other meet and greets planned such that you are always going from person to person.
Its a job that most people on this forum cannot even imagine.
By it's very nature it has to be excessive, because the ultra wealthy live a life of excess.
The difference is the "job" involves getting real money for your effort because you're a big equity holder, and the job also does not wear you out physically unless you let it because meeting and talking with people doesn't have too many occupational hazards other than COVID-19.

This describes anyone at the top of their field. A star engineer or academic can spend their time however they please. (And giving them that freedom is generally a profitable bet.)

It really doesn’t. It just glances with excess. You can pitch your company at Cannes or the Super Bowl without buying tickets to the events.

Not saying its hard, it is just different.
