You should watch the film (Queen of Versailles). It's clear that 1) he's completely devoid of a soul; 2) he exploited the cheap money thing knowingly to build his business on subprime loans and didn't care who got hurt in the process (see #1). He's the perfect modern Republican. His wife comes off much more compassionately, and quite honestly, smarter, if likely insecure and troubled.
