More specifically, I watched his video on Oceangate, and he went off on a rant about something, and he said "being rich doesn't make you evil".
And he's technically right. Being rich isn't why billionaires are bad, it's the ethics violations required to attain that gross level of wealth. Let's do some fucking math, yeah?
Let's assume you make twice the federal minimum wage for the US; ~$14.50/hour.
Let's also assume you work 84 hours a week. Half the day for work, the other half for literally everything else.
So, you'd make 1,218 dollars a week, which is about $63,336/year.
It would take just under fifteen thousand fucking years to earn one billion dollars
Even being as ridiculously generous as I am willing to allow, making a significant fraction of a billionaire's wealth would take hundereds of generations.
There's no way in any universe to make that much money acting ethically.
I don't have the degrees required to do the math on exactly how acting ethically affects profits, but given the state of modern business, I have to assume it cuts in.
The issue is not, and has never been big number in bank account, the issue is the impossibility of getting big number without committing gross ethical violations.
