1. Dov Charney
I started watching a documentary about American Apparel founder Dov Charney, who's a pretty gross dude. It interviews a bunch of American Apparel's early employees who talked about the abusive work conditions but praised Charney as a genius and an incredible motivator. Then they'd cut to interviews with Charney and he was EXACTLY like Bobby Hill's boss from that one episode of King of the Hill. -LordPizzaParty -
2. Oprah Winfrey
Oprah, she's actually quite rude out of character / to staffers. -DomesticGlobeTrotter -
3.
Mark Zuckerberg. Stole an idea. Hired a great COO Sheryl Sandberg. Rode it to riches. Losing money ever since she left. -Ozonewanderer -
4. Andy Warhol
Truman Capote called Andy Warhol “The only genius with an IQ of 80”. -msnarf28 -
5. Dr Phil
Easy one: Dr. Phil. Every Doctor Phil episode: "ya need tuh get off the drugs, go back tuh school, an get yer degree!" audience goes wild. -MindfulWonderer -
6. Russel Brand
Russel Brand. He is always trying to sound profound but it’s so obvious that he just doesn’t have the brain power to say anything meaningful. -FlamingoPepsi -
7. Gary Vee
Gary Vee, the youth pastor of capitalisim. All this dude does is tell you want you want to hear without outright saying it, and says things for the sake of generating social media engagement instead of well thought out and heartfelt advice. -Shadow_Strike99 -
8. L. Ron Hubbard
Ron Hubbard (founder of Scientology). I waffle on this myself if I'm honest. Sometimes I think he's a genius who made a cult for profit. Other times I think he's an imbecile who decided to keep riding the wave he accidentally started. -Fabled_webs -
9. Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong
Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong. 'Mastermind' behind the pizza bombing. Documentaries keep painting her as some master manipulator, but then follow it by saying she can't keep any lie straight for any length of time. The moron tried to rob a bank for the exact amount of money she needed, without having any idea how much they actually kept on hand. (HINT: It was only like 3% of the $250000)The idiot literally turned what would have been an 8500-dollar robbery into a murder charge. - spart981 -
10. Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin. Hasn't done a single thing right for years and turned himself into a paranoid bunker dictator. For some reason there are still a lot of people idolizing him. -DinksterDaily -
11. Elon Musk
I expected Elon to be on top. He will be disappointed if he sees this thread. -DonutsOnTheWall -
12. Kanye West

13. Jordan Peterson
Jordan Peterson. He talks how dumb people think smart people talk. -WizardWatson9 -
14. Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell. Ironically, he spends so much of his time seeking "talent" when he has very little himself. While he knows the music industry, his father got him the job that brought him into it at EMI. Even left that job only to come back when he couldn't make it on his own. He was also stupid enough to believe that a cosmetic surgeon could make him not look like he's over 60 when, in reality, he's now morphing into a Bo Selecta caricature of himself. -GreyFoxNinjaFan -
15. Andrew Tate
Andrew Tate. -NefinDaHouse -
16. Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins, If I was six foot four with a booming voice, teeth like bathroom tile and total utter self-confidence I could make money giving speeches too. -TennesseeStifffLegs -
17. Donald Trump
Donald Trump. -AnUnstableNucleus -
18. DJ Khaled
Dj khaled, although aside from himself, no one considers him a genius. "We Da Best Music" fml. -Barbosse007 -
19. Neil Degrasse Tyson
Neil Degrasse Tyson is certainly smarter than me, but he says a lot of dumb stuff. Tyson is the Elon Musk of Carl Sagans. -LurkersGoneLurk -
20. Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan. He admits he doesn't know anything about a lot of topics, but he'll bring pseudo-experts onto his show to talk about a subject that they allegedly know a lot about; even if they're diving straight into fantasyland viewpoints. -Nikiaf
