52. Scum up and down the list

Stallone is nothing like a good actor in 95 percent of his stuff, Musk is a petulant man-child making billions off his family's blood mining money, Murdoch poisoned everything, and Milken was a great example of the wretched excess of the Reagan years and is walking filth. Milken was also pardoned by Trump late in his "presidency." This list is meant to be disrespectful to RBG or to try and fool the credulous into thinking these were her type of people. I had not heard of Julie Opperman, but she seems to be an especially loathsome individual.
