most hated man in America. He comes up as number 1. So he bought this drug called Daraprim and he increased the price from like $13 to like $500-something. He was like, fuck yeah, I did. I own this. I could charge what I want. He doubled down and he loves attention and he's amazing at getting attention.
He controlled 2 pharmaceutical companies that were each public at north of a billion in market cap.
