Vladimir Putin Makes More Than You

A recent study illustrated what you already knew:  Nice guys really do finish last.  But this should  come as no surprise to anyone.  People don't usually gush about how nice Carlos Slim is or wax eloquent on Warren Buffet's warm hugs.  This also explains a bit about baseball.

The highest paid baseball player is Alex Rodriguez.  It also just so happens that A-Rod is recognized as a world-class dick.  Coincidence?  Probably not.  Same goes for Michael Jordan and the trash-talking skills that he brought along with his ridiculous game:

However, if there's one guy who truly embodies this principle, it's Vladimir Putin.  If there's a meaner, cockier person out there, I dare you to prove it.  He gets the girl.  He gets the treasure.  He gets whatever he wants.  Why?  Because he's Vladimir F***ing Putin, that's why.

If you have any other questions, perhaps you'd prefer to take them up directly with Mr. Putin.
