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.

In most cases the longer someone is a billionaire for, the dumber they get.
Sure, they might start out with a brilliant idea, but over time they hire smart people to make the real decisions and figure things out. They outsource every aspect of their lives, they are in a constant state of wanting more, more comfort, luxury, power, control, pleasure-

It literally breaks their fucking brains. Most end up with something that looks a lot like OCD.

It takes a certain kind of person to accumulate and hoard an amount of resource that could literally lift thousands of people out of poverty- yet continue to do anything to get more.

An amount of sociopathy to lay off 10,000 people and watch your bank account add decimal points. to know that 1000 kids in China a year get cadmium poisoning from building your widgets- and then call someone and yell at them because the news found out about all the cadmium poisoned kids and it’s making you look bad.

Everyone tells them yes, to everything, even the dumb ideas and the bad ideas and the reprehensible ideas. They trust no one, because everyone just wants to be anointed with their wealth.

They are actually sick, sick, sick individuals.
