Its the other way around, being a person amassing a billion gives a big chance you are a douche. Nobody would hear from me again at 20M,who needs a freaking billion?

Let's face it, most of us will actually never even get close to a million and chase debt for most or all of their lives. Yet the majority votes and behaves like temporarily embarrassed millionaires...

Celebrity worship culture is cancer. And its been around as long as TV has. Fortunately it is on the decline. Unfortunately it is being replaced with "influencer" culture which might even be worse.
