Not that buying a custom, $100 million yacht is, in itself, a terrible thing, I mean, apart from the environmental issues, but I feel like it’s just a matter of time before a few skeletons break out of his closet.
Ye, no such thing as an ethical billionaire. I just mean that as far as billionaire CEO’s go you can definitely find worse. He’s done a much better job of keeping his evil tendencies (should they exist) under wraps.
I feel like even with the yatches, or perhaps even because of the yatches, of all the money people around, Gabe is among the ones who more or less get it right in that he uses the money for Himself stuff, instead of say financing the IDF. Compare, say, JKR or the Mullvad CEO.
Buying a yacht is seems to be one of those things only senselessly rich people buy. Like I can’t imagine any world in which I would ever want a yacht; what’s the point other than to show off?
Are there CEOs not like this?
At some small, privately owned companies, yeah.
Ben and/or Jerry
They sold out in 2000. Having a successful company wasn’t enough money, apparently…
Chapman’s > Ben & Jerry’s.
I very cautiously submit Gabe Newell for consideration. I’m not aware of him doing anything overtly and blatantly evil yet.
“Aware” being the operative word, here.
