Very likely. Billionaires can afford to cultivate a persona for the masses. It’s so odd when the majority actually buy it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You ever see Good Will Hunting? The scene where he talks about where he can “just play” and then describes the most talented people in history at what they do. That’s Buffett in his chosen life’s work. Buffett didn’t get, for example, a small loan of a million dollars to start. He’s been working at this longer than probably anyone what will ever read this comment has been alive. He doesn’t care about the money in the sense I feel you’re implying. Nobody is perfect, and holding anyone to that standard sets an impossible threshold. I don’t know how familiar you are with Warren Buffett, but I would encourage you to dig into his Wikipedia page at least, however accurate we think that is these days. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
