Kenneth williams netted $150 million in stock from the $1 billion sale of his computer game company, Sierra Online, to Cendant Corp. in 1996. A year later he retired, after wisely selling the Cendant shares, planning an oceanfront estate in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and a 62-foot Nordhaven yacht to go with it. Then he got bored. "The house is impractical, and the boat is a paperweight," he complains. Instead, Williams, 44, decided to start another company, this one to provide interactive talk shows on the Web.
