The projected growth of revenue is not likely to materialize with higher interest rates. Investors will not invest in the stock as compared to the risk free 5% from US treasuries. So the stock will likely not grow any longer. More likely to flatline or collapse.

This makes the paper billionaire CEO a mere hundred millionaire, which is unacceptable.

You have to work even harder to attract investors in a high-interest-rate environment. Equity and bond returns must beat safe investments like Treasurys, or no one will invest in them.
