They have too much money and free time. They think they're geniuses but most of the time they made their money by being in the right place at the right time, and then investing in the stock market.

Most of them are not as smart as they think they are. They get weird ideas. They tend to be extremely self-centers and selfish. They think they're invincible. They're wrecking the world for everybody else.
