That's always the idea though isn't it.
You simply do not become a multi-billionaire and have charity and empathy, just to get to the point of having digested so many companies and burned through so many businesses and using people like capital and collateral, you need to be some kind of solipsistic, self-deluded psychopath, but also be stupid enough about humanity and life that you convince yourself you're deserving of taking the hard work of millions of people for yourself.
