You have it backwards. You don't become that rich without being a terrible person.

There's no way.

What about Elon Mus— never mind.
Steve Jobs? Notorious asshole, shit.
Walt Dis—no. Antisemite, fuck.
Thomas Eddison? His patent sweatshop begs to differ.
Bill Ga— wait, no. He was in the files.
SBF? Fuck.

Ummm uhhh...

Bill Ga— wait, no. He was in the files.
