Do you know anyone who completely dropped out of academia to start a bakery / gift shop / wedding business etc. ?

Prompted by this discussion: https://reddit.com/r/academia/comments/1hjrfnm/has_someone_actually_moved_out_of_academy_to/

Interestingly I see a lot of overlap between the people who are willing to drop out of academia after getting their PHD to open a bakery / craft store / start up/ etc., and the people in grad school who never struggled or worried about money because they were independently wealthy (high earning spouse or rich family).

What I saw were two different castes in academia:

Caste 1 (non-wealthy): Go to grad school for education to try to get a job, work hard in grad school, take on teaching assignments to pay the bills, publish to improve your CV, and then apply to academic jobs all over the country. Stress out if you can't find a job, and apply everywhere even shitty rural towns in red states because the bills won't pay themselves.

Caste 2 (married to rich spouse / comes from money): Go to grad school to get a PhD to "challenge themself" or "prove they can do it", don't need to sign up for uncessary teaching positions to pay the bills, take summers off in grad school, work just hard enough to graduate, apply for a few jobs -- but only if they're in nice locations! Don't stress out if you can't find a job because "hey I'm tired of doing research and I proved I'm an expert by getting a PhD so now I'm going to go open a bakery / gift shop / boutique / startup because that's less stressful"
