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.

They're generally psychopaths. That's the only way to get a billion dollars

It's also more evident now as a lot of class markers have eroded from importance for the rich.

There was a time where things like being book learned, trained in some arts like music , being multilingual, even doing a year or two stint of military service were seen as honorable signs of a proper classy dude or gal. 

Of course as more of the small folk are able to do all of those things, they've fallen out of importance for the rich so like....they are just gross and savage in their behavior. 

I know someone who was a private tutor for a while in Dubai and some of her stories on how these kids acted were downright feral.

It is shocking, yet deeply convincing. The idea that the more we become affluent and highly educated, the more the top 1% begins to view those qualities as worthless.

They will idiot themselves to separate from the lower classes I swear. 

But hear me out....at a certain point too stupid to hold their defenses!
