If he's so good at reading people, why hasn't he done better with his inheritance? "Making deals" is his forte, allegedly. The deals he has made have netted him less than if he put his inheritance in the S&P and let it sit for however-many years since his dad died. You would expect better performance from a "deal-maker" who is skilled at reading people.

Per Forbes, he had outperformed the S&P 500 up until the beginning of the COVID pandemic (which was, of course, brutal on folks with large holdings in urban real estate):

At the time the article was written, COVID had flattened his net worth for a while - but obviously it's vastly higher now as well.

Wow. I think he'd get slaughtered. He would have been no match for either Tywin or Tyrion Lannister. They had brains, and cunning. He (IMO) has neither.

I still don't know why people keep saying this. Tyrion's main approach to being Hand was basically to purge all the people who he felt were loyal to Cersie instead of to him (Slynt, Pycelle) and replace them with hand-picked lackeys that were on his own payroll. Because he realized that it was critically important to fill positions of power with people whose personal loyalties were to you. Which is the quintessential Trump MO.
