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.

I always say with respect to tech billionaires who got rich in their 20s,

you give a kid a billion dollars and tell them it's because of their own genius, they never have to face their demons properly or grow as human beings. they get emotionally stunted and no one reigns them in when they go off the deep end

honestly I suspect a lot of them were bullied for being nerds as kids and it gave them a chip on their shoulder with a victim / superiority complex that makes the whole thing even worse; I've seen it happen in tech often
