SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci says niceness has been one of the biggest drivers of his long-term success, even if it may have come at the expense of making more money.
Scaramucci Says Kindness Beats Ruthlessness in the Long Run In a post on X on Friday, Scaramucci pushed back against the notion that niceness is a weakness, calling it "a superpower" and urging people to "be nice." "I know some people think it's a weakness.
I don't buy that," he wrote.
Scaramucci acknowledged that a more ruthless approach might have made him wealthier, saying, "Maybe I'd be worth more money if I were more ruthless." However, he added that being nice is simply part of who he is and not something he is willing to change.
