Adulterers and politicians excel at this but are joined by a host of haughty abusers in all fields. Even on this pure-hearted list shysters thrive on prejudice, preen, preaching and exaggeration.
Quite common for the famous, infamous,notorious, obessed, drunkard, dope addict,
I think "rich" or "talented" would need to come before "drunkard" or "dope addict" in that line to make any sense :P I've known a few junkies, and they (like everyone else) exist on a spectrum. The only ones I ever knew to profiteer sexually from it were the ones who also sold the shit, aka those lucky few known as "the man". (and, no, I do not have 27 dollars in my hand :P)
rich, talented, to presume sexual privileges and monetary profits from those who admire them, their work, performance, braggardy, promotion, self-advertising.
Faithful, fans, subjects, citizens, voters, revolutionaries, diehards, warriors, slaves, why even SM followers, are seduced to be screwed by imaginary promises of shared glory and belonging to movements and beliefs of confidence artists, priests, Ponzis, prevaricators, presidents.
From royalty to religion to banditry to warmaking to profiteering to, god help us, coding, abusive randiness goes with abusive success, earned or stolen or faked, all the last.
