  Marketing and fund raising. Doesn’t matter how much you, well we, hate him he’s still genuinely excellent at it. Sure it’s absolutely destructive to… literally everything except his bank account, but it works. Very annoying.

    But is he actually particularly stand out at that or is he just leveraging his pre-existing family wealth and connections to do so? In another universe a lot of these people are deadend used car salesman types that no one takes seriously.

      Oh he is absolutely pulling himself up from his bootstraps, his are just made out of emeralds.
