[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve known 2 men who were billionaires (met thru work/worked with them).

First one was a jerk. Was used to yelling and intimidating everyone to get his way. The first day I met him, he yelled and me and cussed me out for something I had literally nothing to do with (think, like, a bird pooped on his car). Extremely controlling of his wife. I could tell he viewed her more as a possession and beneath him.

Second one was a great, great guy. Extremely chill, kind, strong moral code, absolutely devoted to his wife. I actually felt kind of bad for him, his wife was often pretty mean to him.[/quote]

The second one is a good example of how even if you aren't evil if you are famous, rich, or powerful, the hangers-on around you probably are. I went to school with some people who were extremely wealthy (billionaire heirs) or famous, and the people who surrounded them were uniformly terrible, even if the person was ok.[/quote]

So rich people have a thing where they like to maintain the appearance of magnanimity and graciousness all while not having to bother about the business of being the bad guy. Those tagalongs are doing the bidding of their rich friends.[/quote]
