You don't hear about them because they retire to a private life. It's survivorship bias, you don't hear about the millionaires that don't keep working in the public eye so it seems like it doesn't happen

Why don’t we see the ones who are rich and famous right now doing it? How often do you really see a person get rich in their youth and then immediately retire? Be realistic.

People are doing it, you just don't hear about them. I know people who've done it...I've done it. Believe it or not, not everyone has fallen in love with the rat race. How many rich youths do you see/know? You be realistic and don't group an entire situation of people as they all think/act the same way.

There's entire communities of people who strive for super early retirement. Check out /r/leanfire or /r/fire for countless examples of people retiring in their 30's and 40's.
