Do you feel this way about all billionaires or is it something about Buffet?

I do feel exactly that with few exceptions.

What would warrant an exception? I generally don’t like billionaires either, but I wouldn’t put Buffet at the top of my shit list just for curating a public persona.

There are couple of artists for example that had managed to become near- or full billionaires. Of course I do not know the details but in my view this warrants an exception

Do artists who make business deals also warrant an exception?

Why does an “artist” get an exception for being a billionaire?

I think you must have at least some sort of antisocial and sociopathic personality qualities to become a billionaire.
