Exploitation of Strength

If the biggest guy in the tribe is repeatedly asked to retrieve fruit from the higher branches by those of lesser stature, and to command the barricades when the tribe is attacked, until he's too busy feeding and protecting his fellow tribesmen to have a life... and at the same time is frequently chided for being big, dumb, and domineering, will there come a time when he tires of being the object of jealousy and envy, and simply decides to become king?

So, $13.5 Billion is it? Thanks guys. Let's hope empire isn't a self-fulfilling prophesy.
