There must be some balance to boredom vs money. I think he might have
enough money by now. Personally, if I had the amount of money he had and
always won the in the game I played I might want a new game. (but that is
just me)
I think deep down he also really wants something more interesting. Maybe
he should challenge himself... Like drive with one hand, or with the a 1968
Mini, or switch cars with the slowest driver... Something!

the title of the thing alone defines the vapidness of most official
anthems -- I'll bet there are a dozen popular Australian songs that
would work better and be more recognizable
US state songs are usually like 'Advance Australia Fair' and invariably
written by the sort of people who pen odes in Church bulletins

I wonder how people could spend time and/or money watching car races
when the results, during the last years, have been so predictable.
