I don't understand the obsession with financially successful people.
If you have ambitions for financial success, learn a skill that is in high demand or find another way to create value for society.
If you have no ambitions for financial success, you have no right to go around complaining about the success of others.
Stop fetishizing successful people who deprecate their success. Some, like Warren Buffet, are disingenuous and fairly transparent panderers. Others, like George Romney here, may well be sincere. But they achieved success by creating value and making careful and studied decisions about the allocation of capital.

Show evidence.
> Or through fraud, graft, and knowing who to bribe (see "campaign finance").
Show evidence. Not baseless allegations.
