I knew a guy who was the worst kind. His father had made millions buying oil lease land from oil drillers who went bust. The land was premium farmland and the father ended up with half the county.

But then try to select only those born into wealth, who have subsequently been successful in acquiring extreme wealth - well, there's only a very few of those.

Too much money can give people the illusion that they can buy or coerce anything - and when they discover that they can't always get their way, they tend to chuck temper tantrums.
