Sometimes people switch out from being CEO to being chairman because it's just more fun being the globe-trotting-jet-setting-lunching-with-Obama guy schmoozing and closing deals and partnerships than being the tedious micromanager. Just saying. But it's also fun to fantasize, speculate, and gossip about really rich and important people.
