Yet there are plenty of billionaires who do not, at least publicly, have tragic relationships. Steve Jobs? Warren Buffet? Gavin Newsom (for the past 20 years)?

Look at recent and current tech CEOs. Gates, Musk, Zuckerberg sure…but Amodie, Altman, Cook, Nadella seem to be in stable relationships, and stable in general.

No, not all men think with their dicks. Huang’s martial fidelity is below average.

I'll give you Jobs, now that he's passed away and we have a lot of the dirt on him. But everyone else, we really don't know about.

Also, (just kind of pointing this out as a relevant factor, not really trying to insult the others), but Steve Jobs is tall and good looking. The guy would have gotten plenty of women with just a guitar and not a nickel to his name. I'm thinking Musk and Gates were very likely not in that league of raw attractiveness.

Just because actual desk toy Bill Gates didn't make the cover of Rolling Stone or even Teen Beat shouldn't detract from his ..

I can give more examples. Past US presidents. Joe Biden? Barack Obama? Either George Bush? Ronald Reagan? Jimmy Carter?

6 of 8. And they’re politicians, so if they had any embarrassing martial info we’d surely know about it.

Ronald Reagan did have a bit of old school 1950s era scandal about him - a twice married Hollywood actor type whose kids from the second marriage didn't even know they had brothers and sisters from another mother until their early teens(? not sure on timing).

Small beer stuff today, titillating gossip for some.

Having Steve Jobs on your list makes me retroactively suspicious of every other name on the list

This doesn’t read “groomed by intelligence agencies” to me. He had relationship troubles, but they were before Apple blew up. He met Laurene Powell in 1989 and they stayed together until his death in 2011.

I also don’t think it’s an excuse that he was particularly attractive, since plenty of other men on this list are less so. Buffet married a 60-year old woman in his 70s, if he cared about looks he could’ve dated a 20-year old.

You said "tragic", not "groomed by intelligence agencies tragic".

Maybe you thought the context was clear, but I honestly had no idea that was what you were trying to convey.

It’s not tragic, either. He was happily married for the last 20+ years of his life and even his daughter reconciled with him.

Steve Jobs, the man who named a computer after the daughter he denied for years was his?

True, but we’re talking about him being manipulated by intelligence or a gold-digger, then betrayed. His relationship troubles with Chrisann Brennan happened before he got famous, and it doesn’t seem like she manipulated him, rather his obsession with work and rudeness put her off.

Didn't Bill Gates' wife hint that the divorce was caused by some Epstein stuff?
