You mean to tell me the guy who's only rich because daddy ran a emerald slave mine in apartheid South Africa isn't a good person? Never.

I like that his rebuttal is, "He didn't operate the mine! He owned a majority stake, which I inherited!"

As if not being the one cracking the whips somehow makes profiting off misery better.
