Billionaires can't be benign. It's impossible to make a billion dollars in a lifetime without taking more than you deserve. Someone overpaid for the product or someone was underpaid for the work (probably both). Billionaires prey on that loss, and it's not as if they are Robin Hood giving back to the poor. If that's not malignant, I don't know what is.

"As benign as billionaires get" and "benign" are not the same thing. See also the "I'm sure she still stepped on a lot of necks up the pyramid" part.

Why do you think I said benign and not what I actually said?

I wasn't arguing with you. I was supporting you. Weird of you to assume the worst?
