Many years ago an acquaintance of mine was a mechanic for a Formula 1 team owned by Bernie Ecclestone (Brabham F1 team for those in the know).
Bernie later went on to control the sport and remains a multi-billionaire to this day due to his somewhat shady business dealings.
Anyway, there was a race weekend at Monaco where behind the scenes Bernie was doing a deal with someone or other to sell a used Ferrari. The story goes that he colluded with Flavio Briatore (another shady F1 team owner) to manipulate the price of the car to screw the potential buyer out of a measly £5k or so.
The point was never the money, it was fucking over the other guy. You don't get to accumulate such wealth without being a raging psycho/sociopath with the morals of a feral cat.
Pffft. * Laughs in telecom*
