In this video, we break down the four psychological and systemic reasons why rich villains frequently live well past their 80s and 90s. By examining real-world examples like William Randolph Hearst, Leona Helmsley, and Silvio Berlusconi, we explore how extreme wealth, a dark sense of purpose, and a total lack of empathy shield these figures from life-shortening chronic stress. We also look closely at how these exact behavioral traits map onto Donald Trump and what this psychological durability means for the future of our democracy.
