He got rich taking advantage of other people's gullibility, their stupidity and
their ignorance but not particularly their "misfortune".
The ones who deserve that label are those who've got filthy rich from the
medical insurance scam (kills thousands every year yet is still supported
by loads of politicians of every shade) and those who've got rich from the
armaments industry (kills millions every year yet still being praised as one
of the most profitable American export industries).
Simply holding your pocket open to allow idiots to pour their money into it
isn't even as lacking in scruples as working as a lawyer (who relies on the
misfortune of others to provide a case for them to which they book their fees.)
