Why do so many people think billionares are such great people?

Many people have this delusion that billionaires are hard working generous people and should not be critisized. True there are ones like Bill Gates but most of them are in fact sociopaths whom cheated for that money. Plus there are old money billionaires who rule the world just because their daddy left them money. So my question is why are there so many people who don't realize this and go up in arms when you critisize billionaires for not paying their share of taxes? It's not like Trickle down economics works or needs defending.
