We all know that every billionaire is a horrible person. They can't be anything else.
You don't get to a billionn without exploiting people along the way.

People or natural ressources. Even if it's on stock trade, someone had to create that worth - and those who created it, didn't get it...
Buying low and selling high is fundamentally taking advantage of other peoples losses.
There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.
Warren Buffet is ok in my book.
Would you care to elaborate why he is okay in your book? Do you believe that he can make money out of thin air, without harming other people (mostly those who have the least)? Do you believe that when he invests in Goldman Sachs during the economic crisis in 2008, that it was a good choice? That making money of people losing homes and lives is what a good, or even "ok" person does?
