There are how many people on that list, and you're picking one of them? What about Gates, who was the top four a long time? Dell? Buffet?

You have a preconceived notion, and you're sticking to it, regardless of data.

Gates is a predatory businessman who built an empire on the backs of others. Buffet is a dragon who refuses to invest in progress (https://www.bankrate.com/investing/warren-buffett-stocks-berkshire-hathaway-portfolio-13f-filing/) and Dell made it on the back of shitty business practices.

I didn't say any of these guys were gems of humanity - what does any of what you're saying have to do with the fact that they were all workaholics?
