> Rich guy has a job so easy he works until old age.

How would you know how difficult his job is? It's not easy to run a company, let alone a hugely successful one responsible for a vast amount of assets.

> Never made anything, just leant money to companies that weren't as rich as him and his cronies, to get a share of profits for doing nothing.

Providing capital to companies helps them grow which in turn helps add value to an economy. And it's not even like it's easy to lend money because this is an inherently risky process so requires a lot of hard work and intelligence to perform sustainably.

I'm curious as to why you're so judgemental of him and presumably by logical extension of your arguments: capitalism in general.
