He didn't do it for his family

He didn't want to die miserable with no respect from anyone.

He wanted to show the world he was great. He never was going to have "enough" that he would quit and die anonymously. He was going to keep going bigger and bigger until he was caught or killed.

The whole show is a dying man's ego trip.
