answer:Ask yourself this: If you were Eloise DeJoria, or any other billionaire, would you feel comfortable telling Barbara Walters and her several million viewers about the downsides of being a billionaire right now? Wouldn’t talking about the downsides seem like self-involved bitching about how nothing is ever good enough for you? Wouldn’t everyone think that you are woefully out of touch with what suffering really is? Would talking about the downsides be at all a wise PR move; isn’t it quite likely that if it didn’t have a serious negative impact on your company, at the very least, the company’s board members might see this as an opportunity to make their political move against you and oust you? Isn’t public opinion already against you enough without adding this on? Did you not get to this position as a billionaire by being PR savvy, by knowing what people want to hear and what they really don’t want to hear, and then giving it to them? It’s not that I think she’s necessarily lying (I have no idea if she is or not), so much as that I just can’t imagine why she would say otherwise, so a line of credibility has not been established.
