    I’m pretty sure that future billionaire me seems like a cool guy, I’m totally not biased.

    Eat the rich, except if I become rich, then I’m exempt because I am a honorary proletariat

    /s but seriously tho, if anyone becomes a billionaire, they’ll soon get corrupted by the wealth

      You don’t become a billionaire without exploiting so many people and then hording those riches to yourself. You’ve already been corrupted by that point.

      I think for most people, they become an asshole on the way to becoming a billionaire. You don’t make that kind of money without exploitation and plundering. The only exception I could think of would be if they inherited the money. And even so, if you inherit that kind of money and don’t give out a good chunk of it, you’re still scum imo.
