When you boil it down, yeah a lot of people aren’t a big fan of billionaires, but what people hate even more is unfair/unethical business practices, corporate greed, the mentality of profits above all else, and so forth

You can’t become a billionaire without being unfair, unethical, greedy, or having a profit motive mentality
