You should watch the film (Queen of Versailles). It's clear that 1) he's completely devoid of a soul; 2) he exploited the cheap money thing knowingly to build his business on subprime loans and didn't care who got hurt in the process (see #1). He's the perfect modern Republican. His wife comes off much more compassionately, and quite honestly, smarter, if likely insecure and troubled.

Interesting, how much perspective matters - I read the same article on Gizmodo, and some of the comments were a polar opposite. "You can kinda feel some sympathy for him, amongst his other issues, his wife comes off as a raging bitch."

It shows how polarized American society has become that one person's compassion becomes another's "raging bitch".
