    It’s so easy for billionaires to buy popularity. All they have to do is act normally and not be the greediest person on the planet. But people likely to act that way are also less likely to be billionaires, it seems.

    If I were a billionaire, why wouldn’t I pay my staff double the market rate, tip $100 to every server at every restaurant I go to, and donate money to charity like crazy? It’d ensure that I’m well-liked everywhere I go and the cost would be chump change to me.
