If we’re going to talk about highly successful men who are total assholes in real life, I don’t know why we’re skipping Pablo Picasso. After all, he’s arguably the most famous artist in history.

He makes Elon Musk look like a valet.

Donald Trump once bragged that he could shoot someone in the street and get away with it. Well, Pablo Picasso actually shot people in public, mostly art critics (with blanks).

He got away with it.

Picasso had a lot of bad habits. He routinely slept until late morning or early afternoon. He drank. He smoked. He cheated. He would get obsessed over an idea, staying up all night drawing the same thing over and over again. And yet, he lived until the age of 91. He was incredibly productive. He was worth hundreds of millions when he died. Today, his art empire makes the crypto market look like a bad joke. So forget about morning routines and kale smoothies.

Clearly, there’s more than one way to become incredibly successful, even if you’re still not a very good person.

Here’s mine:
