There must be something like a "sudden wealth-life crisis", comparable to a midlife crisis. My only advise is to refrain from impulsive decisions in such a situation. But that advise is late here. I hope he has an environment that can ground him. Find productive work, but nothing that puts on too much of a burden (like this ultra-political "DOGE"). Always remember: your wealth is a result of luck and/or decent leadership and OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK. Be decent, be kind and BE REALISTIC. Please don't become Elon.

I don't think that's the same thing. Unlike a midlife crisis a too-much-money crisis is eminently solvable, just give it all away. Traditionally the entire problem with being cursed with something is that it's really difficult to get rid of. Money? Very easy, I'm taking checks if anyone is plagued by this condition.
Spinoza thought money would disconnect him from the life of the philosopher so he just gave all of his possessions away and went couch hopping. If you're so serious about lacking meaning due to simply having too much money (these founders are not, they just like to brag) a good accountant and charity of your choice can help you out
