He'd be roasted by the left since ever since he left office he's been hobnobbing with billionaires, ignoring his home state, and trying to build a library on public land against the wishes of the local community

Former President tend to be quiet. We can only hope that Trump will be as quiet when his successor is in office.

He has. He endorsed several Democrat candidates for Gubernatorial campaigns back in 2018 and they lost to the Donald Trump endorsed GOP Gubernatorial candidates.

Per this, he endorsed 20 gubernatorial candidates in last year's races, 11 of whom won: https://ballotpedia.org/Endorsements_by_Barack_Obama

He's a multi-millionaire who can never be President again, so what's the motivation?

Last I heard he was. He was breaking tradition of former Presidents not going back into politics.

The tradition is more circumstance than anything else. Consider his predecessors, after leaving office
W - Everyone hated
Clinton - His wife became a Senator
HW - Unpopular
Reagan - Deep into dementia
Carter - Unpopular
Ford - Unpopular
Nixon - Very unpopular
LBJ - Unpopular
JFK - Dead

You have to go back to Eisenhower to find a president who was still well-liked by the time they left.
