          After 50+ years walking this planet , I realize that anyone with extreme wealth, or heck even wealth that’s just outside of most reaches grip, all take a certain amount of callousness and evil to attain

          Tha has seriously been the case with just about every wealth horder. Even the nice ones don’t want you digging beneath. The facade.

          Billionaires are killing people intentionally

            Pretty sure there are studies on this showing overrepresentation of dark triad traits in the upper class.

      Past ~100m Million. Nope. Just some of the trust fund kids and they tend to develop death wishes, run charities and donate out of the club or be murdered.

    Stories of young women being taken to Al Fayed’s office circulated in the company at the time. But it was only after the billionaire’s death in 2023 at the age of 94 that the full scale of his abuse of women came to light. He is alleged to have sexually assaulted hundreds of women.

    The UK is good at this. Somehow it’s impossible to investigate what everyone knows about a powerful person until just after they die, when the evidence suddenly turns up.
