Has he tried a sex change, "everyone" is doing it these days?
Seriously, he should start other companies similar to what the guy from Paypal did.
Not everyone can be Elon Musk. Minecraft was never set to change the world or make people be more creative.
Google the dude who invented Winamp, how much money he made selling it to AOL and if he is bored today. He is not. He is coding everyday...
Looks like he is having fun:
Some of Frankel's current projects in development (according to his weblog) are a programmable effects processor called Jesusonic and a new piece of software named NINJAM which allows several musicians to make music together via the Internet.
Under his new company, Cockos, he has been developing REAPER, a multi-track audio and MIDI sequencer for Windows and Mac OS X, with a version for Linux in beta. The program has been developed using a release system wherein Frankel releases a new revision of the software approximately every 2 to 3 days. ~
