The reference to Piketty with its implication that Sarofim represents some hidden class of billionaires is particularly annoying. He was prolific in Houston's social business scene for decades and married the Brown heiress, who was similarly known (along with her father). He threw some of the best Christmas parties and wasn't exactly a recluse, so I see relatively little reason to connect him to that idea. His son Christopher is very similar. He was worth upwards of the author's estimate but a generally good guy who doesn't really deserve the "evil billionaire" label which the author quietly assigns.
