Just like Madoff or Trump or Weinstein

  Being in jail doesn't sound profitable. Robbing a bank makes rich for a second too. As for Trump, he probably should've put his daddy's money in the S&P.

    I think we can agree that billionaires main trait is not being nice Putin is worth 200 billions...

      I'm almost certain that Putin makes tons of money for those immediately around him and as soon as he stops, he'll be replaced. That's generally how dictatorships work.

        The money doesn't disappear though and I'm sure the Bush family is still doing well

          I've heard that the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. That doesn't mean you should be irrational though. Or if you do, understand that it's a short play. Rationality generally wins.

            An assholes can be completely rational, become incredibly rich and still be an asshole. It doesn't mean being an asshole it's the best strategy to become rich, it isn't enough to become one and generally I think being good decent human beings is much better for society and for themselves, but the numbers shows that very rich people are usually not among the best people in this world.

  Or a certain "activist" who bought a $10mil house in Martha's Vineyards from his supposed book deals.
