Interesting question. So, for context: I meet a lot of people from the investment world and within that world there are many strata, former and current entrepreneurs, media people, heirs and bankers. Some of those have made it very big, their successes are quite visible but it isn't always immediately obvious who the people behind the successes are. But in my line of business that veil gets pulled up on occasion and then you can get a closer view of what that world looks like and how it works.

I just did a tally of the ones I'm sure are well above $1B, and I would say the ratio is about 3:1 for jerks vs really, really good people. I really don't want to drop names and it is one of the reasons why my company website does not list our clients. But my exposure is mostly to EU parties (though I know a very small number in the USA as well and one in Canada).
