Andrew Carnegie

Joe Kennedy worked 9 months, chilled 3 in Palm Beach

Sam notes that JFK's father Joe Kennedy, before becoming one of the 10 richest men in America, worked hard 9 months a year and spent 3 months relaxing in Palm Beach. He frames seasonal time off as old and common, citing Carnegie's months-long European trips.

“And what he would do even prior to that is he would work really hard for 9 months and then chill for 3 months in Palm Beach in Florida. And this, he wasn't incredibly wealthy when he did it. And this is actually incredibly common. So you'd read about Andrew Carnegie taking a trip to Europe. Now, when you take a trip to Europe without a plane, that's a 6-month thing.”
