There's a hell of a difference between a multimillionare who has a successful business and a billionare.

The difference between a person who has a million dollars and a person who has a billion dollars is about a billion dollars.

Yeah, I'm saying the ones worth hundreds of millions to low billions who aren't on social media are, in my personal experience, often fine people. The ones I don't like are the ones on social media, but that's also true of the folks worth a few thousand dollars.

Plenty of billionaires are assholes. The world's GDP is over $100 trillion. That's going to produce diversity among the rich.
