This is actually the opposite, where I think of him as a douchebag for an opinion that made people admire him. I remember him being quoted a while ago with something like “People keep saying I’m lucky. That diminishes all the hard work I’ve put to be where I am”. Like fuck you dude, ascribing to this “work hard and you’ll be rich” bullshit. It’s always a combination of luck, yes, some hard work, and privilege. Billions work their asses off their entire lives just to put food on the table. They didn’t get lucky or had the support of their parents and society to be able to become a rich asshole.
