Many people envy Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky. The 42-year-old tech founder is worth more than $10 billion and heads up a company that is a household name just 15 years after launch.

But Chesky, who at times in his career has been "addicted" to work, regrets the impact his climb had on his relationships.
