Yeah. I know everyone hates on Jordan Peterson, but he had a pretty interesting take on it: Basically, that in order to make yourself a billionaire you have to have something really wrong with you i.e. prioritize some things that don't lead to a satisfying life, and then work at them to a really pathological degree. So it's not that weird if billionaires fall into this consistent pattern of behaving a certain unusual way.

I mean, Jordan Peterson kind of is hate condensed into a profitable avatar, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
