I think about this a lot. So many people I know who have net worths over $100MM are kinda jerks, or at least have been/appear to be. However, knowing them really well, knowing how they are with their family, friends, how they treat support staff etc... I actually know they're not jerks, so what is it?
imo: They're just really good at driving outcomes for themselves.
That can be seen a selfish and often manifests as "that person is a jerk" - but if you follow along next to or behind them, you're in for a great ride with more often than not, good people.
