Is this billionaire evil?

[speck]

"The secret to Cohen's success has been his laser-focus on efficiency, a key in an industry famous for small profit margins. He even pays his employees extra to avoid mistakes on the job."

Need more business owners like him.

e's one of the 100 richest people in the world and nobody knew, until now.
Richard Cohen (known as Rick) is worth $11.2 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires. Cohen is the chairman, CEO and sole owner of C&S Wholesale Grocers Inc. -- the world's largest grocery wholesaler. He's been living a quiet life in Keene, New Hampshire, where C&S is based. So quiet that even the Keene Chamber of Commerce overlooked C&S as one of the town's largest employers.

“We’re the biggest company no one has ever heard of,” company spokesman Bryan T. Granger told Bloomberg.

C&S was created in 1918 by Cohen's grandfather. At the time it was just a small brick warehouse with three employees that made grocery deliveries to stores around Worcester, Massachusetts. By the time Cohen's father Lester took over the company in 1955, C&S had moved to a 35,000 square foot warehouse. In the 1970's, "Rick" joined the business and the company moved to Brattleboro, Vermont -- sales skyrocketed, reaching $14 million in 1974. According to the C&S website, annual sales reached $1 billion by 1991.

So where does an unassuming billionaire put up his feet at the end of the day? Miller says Cohen lives with his family in a modest Keene neighborhood -- though it is the most expensive home in town, valued at about $1.5 million.

Depends if he is conservative then he's evil if he's liberal then he's not at least that is the logic and I use that word loosely that is used when judging the rich.

Nice try! You do know this is the guy that caused the A&P bankruptcy. Thousands lost their jobs. This guy is VERY conservative, and VERY evil.

Litigation

January 2009: Lawsuits were filed in federal courts in Wisconsin and New Hampshire alleging that C&S and SuperValu engaged in collusion to allocate markets and reduce competition. The charges stemmed from a 2003 asset swap in which SuperValu swapped distribution centers in the Northeast with C&S's centers in the Midwest with suits claiming that each had indicated it would not compete in the other's territory. The agreement raised red flags when C&S closed its newly-acquired distribution centers shortly after the deal.[9][10][11]
December 2010: A&P filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing in court papers that, among other causes, A&P made an "unfavorable" arrangement with C&S where A&P was required to get 70 percent of its inventory from C&S.[12]

Billionaires can be giving without being "socialist". Seems these days, Republicans think everyone who helps other Americans must be a "socialist". Warren Buffet is not giving most of his money to his children, but to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Seems they want to end world hunger and have also targeted certain diseases.

Koch gives money to cancer research, but only to the type of cancer that has afflicted him.

[konradv]

why do you say that? what amount of money makes one "evil" or evil lurking nearby?

You haven't given us enough information. What evil are you suggesting he's guilty of? Merely having money doesn't put one in the category, it's what you do with it. You're oversimplifying the question, IMO.
