How Steve Jobs Became a Billionaire

Working backwards or forwards, the result is the same. If one in four American billionaires are sociopaths, the likelihood of a sociopath being a billionaire jumps from 1.7e-6 for the general public to 4.25e-5 (all other things being equal). The random sociopath is still unlikely to be a billionaire, but is 25 times more likely to be a billionaire than the random person.

That doesn't make it a recipe for success or a magic ingredient, but it's still interesting.

So tired of this garbage meme about public figures being sociopaths. Please show me the study where a trained professional did an actual clinical diagnosis of any of these people.

I can't point to such a study.

But - based on life experience - I believe the meme.
