43 millionaire. He was 957 million short of his first billion. He was comfortably in the top 1%, but not anywhere close to the top .1%.

He wasn’t a billionaire. Not even close.

And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.

If he ever starts hoarding piles of gold like an angry dragon, you may have a point

Sounds like you care about someone very rich and very exploitative, and you don’t like the idea of scores of people cheering in the event they’d have the same done to them by someone they’d exploited.

I want to assure you that we do not care about your feelings. We’ll celebrate their passing and few will sympathize with your grief.

I don’t agree with innocent people being gunned down for no reason.
