I mean, do you have a counterexample?

FWIW, Bill Gates is one of the people I would have pointed to as one of the less disreputable modern billionaires, and finding out that Melinda divorced him over his Epstein connections really soured my opinion of him.

Is this the same John Mackey that fired his own father from the board and criticises younger generations for trying to find meaningful work?

I think OP has a point, it's very difficult to accumulate vast wealth without behaving ruthlessly and being kind of an asshole when it comes to making tough profit-over-people decisions.

Almost exclusively invests in companies with anti-competitive (i.e. bad for consumers/society) behaviours.
