These Are The Most Hated Billionaires In The World

They say that money can't buy happiness, but many of us know we would have a lot fewer worries if we had all the money we could imagine. Still, if there's one thing plenty have learned, it's that money really can't buy you fans. The same goes for the most hated billionaires in the world.

Just because they have more money than the rest of the world combined doesn't mean these people know how to win around the population. The thing? It seems people hate these billionaires for different reasons, with each seemingly a personal attack on the wealthiest people in the world.

Bill Gates is the most liked and most hated billionaire

According to Business Financing, Bill Gates might be the most liked and the most hated billionaire in the world. The former comes from the fact that Bill is the most popular billionaire in 37 countries. The latter? That's because three nations have named Bill Gates as their most hated billionaire in the world. It seems one of the reasons for both is the billionaire's philanthropic work, such as creating the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Although plenty praise the Microsoft owner for his charitable donations, others have accused Bill of controlling poorer countries with his wealth and disregarding the needs of people living there.

Elon Musk's eccentric personality has lost him fans

Also coming in as one of the most hated billionaires in the world is none other than Elon Musk, aka the richest person in the world. Creating SpaceX and Tesla has seen Elon earn more money than anyone else before him - and it's a spot he likely won't lose soon. Sadly, it seems buying Twitter hasn't helped Elon's popularity. The billionaire immediately fired a huge chunk of the staff working for the site in a move many have labeled as evil and unforgiving. Team that with his eccentric personality - such as the name of his children - and many have had enough of Musk and his time in the limelight.

Mark Zuckerberg's controversies have seen him become one of the most hated billionaires

For years, Mark Zuckerberg was the story that many loved. After all, he dropped out of Harvard and built one of the biggest social media sites of all time, only to become a billionaire and rub shoulders with the best of the best. While everything was going to plan, Mark has lost a ton of fans - and shares and value and trust - with his continued Facebook controversies. The creator has been dealing with intense accusations, such as selling people's personal information, allowing misinformation to spread, running social experiments, damaging people's mental health, and just about everything else. Now, he's thought to be the most hated billionaire in four countries.

Rupert Murdoch has been accused of controlling the news

Being the most hated billionaire in four countries doesn't mean that Rupert Murdoch is in the news as much as the other most hated billionaires in the world. That's because plenty have accused him of controlling the news. Having so much money came from Rupert owning Fox News, the Daily Telegraph, and the Wall Street Journal, among other publications. Still, many believe Rupert uses these publications to promote his own views and influence others to think and feel the same way. 

Jeff Bezos' company has seen him become one of the most hated billionaires in the world

While he might not have the same business background as others, that hasn't stopped Jeff Bezos from being one of the most hated billionaires in the world. In fact, six countries list the Amazon creator as their least favorite - despite the fact the online store ships around 1.6 million packages a day. Most of the backlash against Jeff comes from his alleged treatment of Amazon employees, such as delivery drivers reporting 14-hour working days with no bathroom breaks. The fact Jeff is one of the wealthiest people in the world while his workers are supposedly working in unimaginable conditions is what's caused so many people to turn against the billionaire.

Taking a look at the most hated billionaires in the world might be enough to join some of the dots together. It appears that for most people, it's a seeming lack of feeling toward others and care for workers that have turned people against these billionaires. Still, that's not the only reason they've ended up on the list.
