(3,968 posts)His mind has been poisoned by the allure of scumbag billionaire-ism. He's not even THAT rich as far as billionaires go.
I used to live up the street from him. He had been in construction of his cobbled-together "compound" for what seemed like years. He bought up properties from adjoining homeowners for much of the space. It appeared to me that when someone didn't want to sell to him he'd build right up to their property. It looked like an F U, but I don't think I ever got confirmation of that being the case.
What really struck me as weird is most rich people in Brentwood want to be up in the hills where you have nice views of all the people down below. PSS built in what was basically the foot of a small ravine down in the flats.
I know Michelle Chan, his wife would talk to school kids about South Africa and Apartheid. They both gave $$$ to Hillary. Patrick has joined the Giving Pledge, but now there's this editorial fiasco. I think he just might not know who he is.
