Yeah you definitely can become a billionaire without being a scummy person, just not trough business. You need to be an artist or athlete.
Definitely not going to be a CEO without being a piece of shit. You need that lack of ethics to make it that high.
You can literally start your own company and assign yourself CEO. It's probably all of a filing fee away. It's easy to become a C-suite.
Are you saying it’s easy to become scummy?
It's always been easy for people to be scummy. It just happens to also be easy to be a CEO of a company that does nothing.
You could inherit it
Which means you're born into a weird sociopathic upbringing. Very fee born into wealth see any issues with it and even then, it tends to be short lived. One of the Johnson and Johnson heirs put out a documentary, but not much after that.
