I wonder if anyone's image has crashed from such highs to such pathetic lows. At the end of the day, it was all PR but he still had the admiration of many people just a few years back i.e before the Thai submarine fiasco. Now most people consider him a petulant child man with a massive fortune. The only good outcome of this fall has been a clear understanding that earning wealth is purely based on luck.
