Oh, you wanted unpopular? Let me show you what that word actually means.

reply 6m ago -- "Unpopular opinion: I find billionaires, especially the self-made kind, inspiring. I like to learn what they are doing and then apply high level strategies to my life. Gives me motivation to continue to optimize and make the most of my life. I've read many billionaire biographies and I just find them making the most of the game board. In contrast, I find people who bitch about them (pardon the french) the opposite: jealous, victimhood minded, stuck in 'never enough-ness', finger pointed everywhere except at themselves, etc. etc. This is probably the opinion that you didn't ask for, but if we all stayed in our own lane and learned from what these geniuses were doing, who knows, maybe more of us would excel." Reply from me, same time (now) "Having met a fair number of rich people to be honest they are generally EXTREMELY boring people. There are some exceptions, but not a lot. It depends. Look at their background, how they grew up.. was everything given to them? Did they have massive advantages? Did they attend an ivy league school? Those are big red flags across the board. The average Lyft driver is far more interesting tbh and most are real immigrants working very, very hard."
