I think that's not uncommon.
And most of the time, it's a reflection of, it's a compensation of your lack of self-esteem before you became rich.
Other than James, you mentioned him earlier.
Monish Pabrai is someone who I started following Monish Pabrai in probably 2005 when he was just starting to get a little bit of notoriety in the value investing community.
And people instantly started gravitating towards him because he's a very good communicator.
And that's rare in the investing world, that somebody can not only have a track record of success, but can explain it to anybody.
So at the time I was in college and reading his books, he published, I think, three books back in the day.
And those are some of the foundational books that when I was like, oh, I'm really starting to understand how this investing thing works.
And for that to come from someone who has a great level of success himself,
And I've met him a few times.
He's also just an incredibly nice, humble person.
And so maybe that's the common denominator that I keep bringing up.

From what I understand, obviously never met him,
The Matrix, the actor.
Keanu Reeves, thank you, is one of those people.
Absolutely, like tippity-top A-list celebrity.
And from what I understand, the nicest, most helpful person you'll ever meet, shuns the paparazzi kind of thing, just wants to live his own humble life.
And so that's who I admire the most are people who can live that kind of life.
