The losing control part doesn't seem realistic. Look at all the Mark Zuckerbergs and Bill Gates' out there who are still wealthy.

Most of those that get in the spotlight don't really lose it. However, look at your examples. A small change here or there, and those guys could be on the FBI or Interpol most wanted list. Pirates are pirates whether you put them in a business suit and give them a license to steal or leave them grubbing on the streets for the next score.

If only that were true. :)

In reality it only applies to those who reach above their own limits or capabilities, for the rest of the successful businessmen, on whose backs the world is run, the end result is most likely to be a premature death brought on by overindulgence and stress.

The last picture should show a stroke or a heart attack.

Thats not exactly what I am saying though is it, i'm talking solely in connection to the nature of ambition.

What you are saying is a seperate issue that I agree with, there is no need to point out to me that poverty kills, I assure you. :)

There's a difference between businessmen and financial firms/central banks/mercantilist corporations protected by the government.

A real businessman in a free market society would have to strive and compete to serve you, the consumer. Only then would he be successful, if he succeeds at pleasing you first.
