Gabe’s choice of successor is arguably going to be one of the most important decisions in gaming, ever. Crazy to say, but finding someone who can maintain course and propel the medium without getting greedy is likely gonna be tough. Gabe always had vision, or at least hired people who did and listened to them. Hope he makes the right call.

You can't build an empire if you're, at the same time, cashing it out.

Not sure, whether this is possible in the US and how to correctly translate that...

A company in the area where I live had a founder, that feared, that his company might change to a new (more capitalistic/ "evil"/generic) corporate culture, when he would eventually step down and some other manager takes over. So, when he resigned, he transferred all his shares I to a trust? foundation? endowment? to make sure his vision and culture stays with the company as this legal entity enforces it.
