Nah, everybody loves Warren Buffett.

The annoying thing with most billionaires is not that they have and spend a lot of money, but that they try to force their values onto the rest of us via lobbying, "charity" and other actions designed to leave a legacy. Newsflash: if you don't try to subversively manipulate the world with your gazillions of money as enabling tool, you don't need to redeem yourself by giving 99% of it away.

Not that giving it away is a bad idea, because dynasties suck.
