You cannot become a billionaire without being a scummy person.

Rowling became a billionaire by writing popular books and selling the movie rights. She's a scummy person, obviously, but she didn't become rich by being one.

Yeah you definitely can become a billionaire without being a scummy person, just not trough business. You need to be an artist or athlete.

Definitely not going to be a CEO without being a piece of shit. You need that lack of ethics to make it that high.

You can literally start your own company and assign yourself CEO. It's probably all of a filing fee away. It's easy to become a C-suite.

Are you saying it’s easy to become scummy?
