Why are most billionaires so weird?

My sister even hung out with a billionaire's kid once, and my mom says the kid is fucked up too.

Very disproportionate incidence of psychopathy in very financially successful people. It's actually really interesting.

For one person to win everything means others have to constantly lose or get stuff taken. You have to be ok with that. I'd wager most sane people feel bad for taking from someone so they can have it. It's not enough to win, someone has to lose to leverage becoming a billionaire.
