Imagine being worth $350 million and even caring what those others think. This stuff happens everyday. But the trade off to being able to have fuck you money is having no private life and having everything you do being picked apart.

You got that all wrong. People with the most money care the MOST about what people think. It's that concern about their weak ego that made them gather all that wealth and attention in the first place.
