There are zillions upon zillions of domain specific smart people with many totally batshit beliefs (pick a billionaire, any billionaire except Buffett). There are also plenty of approaching polymaths also with wackadoodle beliefs on particular subjects too. I'd say that well-rounded reasonableness and "common sense" in more areas than most is rare and skews towards wide-ranging life experiences, average intelligence, and advanced age. There are only a few wise elders who have figured out many things, not everything.
And no one will ever agree with you on everything. Anyone who agrees with you on everything is lying to you a priori or you're hallucinating them.
MacKenzie Scott? Jensen Huang? Bernard Arnault? The Walton siblings?
Even ol' BG - he may be a billionaire but I think he's in general a very reasonable, liberal, secular, and fairly moderate guy. I guess he believed Windows Metro was a good idea... :)
Obviously we hear the stories about Musk, Zuck, Ellison etc. but I think there are plenty of grounded billionaires out there.
