How do people earn 4 bachelors degrees in their lifetime?

OK, so I recently looked up a professor who was featured in a Great Courses series I have been listening to. The biography stated that he had 4 undergraduate degrees: one in a humanities, one in philosophy of science, one in Chemistry, and the rest I forgot. I think he also had 2 masters degrees and one Phd. The man is around 50-ish years of age. How do people find time to accomplish such a feat and still have a life!? I also know a Professor of Computer Science who managed also to get 4 undergraduate degrees in various engineering fields. I would love to be able to get a few other undergraduate degrees for subjects I'm interested in (I suffer from an acute case of curiosity), but it seems like life and work would just get in the way: not to mention the tuition costs! How do people do this? If there's anyone here which has accomplish such a task, or knows someone who has, feel free to tell your story. I'd like to know how this is done. Thanks.

Cheers!

They probably quadruple majored at a liberal arts school by taking 6-7 courses per semester plus summer school, taking maybe an extra year or two to graduate, and being incredibly smart and fast working. The two masters and a PhD could also have been gotten in a single stint at a school that grants a masters in the way to PhD.

Their paths may not have been quite that efficient, but it's safe to say that no one applied to and enrolled in 7 different schools to get 7 distinct degrees.
