"In these hard times... Not only did Sugar come up with that weird logic, (why would people take big risks during a recession?) he criticized the team with the smaller priced products - and yet they won. He was saying "where's the more expensive items?" (or words to that effect). Had he done the task he would have been on the losing team! 100 percent prove he doesn't get it right all the time. Still, he's super-rich and I'm not so what do I know! ...we need someone who will take risks and make us loads of money"

But like you said, he's this rich guy..
He got mega-rich from his Amstrad computers which were one of the first home computers back in the prehistoric era we call the 1980s. But Amstrad never became a global brand. Had it become a global brand I suspect he'd be up there with the likes of Bill Gates and have a multi-billion dollar empire.
