Completely true of the public-facing capitalists, who effectively serve as PR for their class.
You may be on to something there, though some of the quieter ones I have names for, like the Mercers or the Waltons, do seem miserable from what I know about them.
Still, if those are outliers, unless the quiet capitalists are secretly richer than their loudest and most obnoxious counterparts, I can't help but wonder why the richest among them are also the loudest and most miserable.
