This doesn’t read “groomed by intelligence agencies” to me. He had relationship troubles, but they were before Apple blew up. He met Laurene Powell in 1989 and they stayed together until his death in 2011.

I also don’t think it’s an excuse that he was particularly attractive, since plenty of other men on this list are less so. Buffet married a 60-year old woman in his 70s, if he cared about looks he could’ve dated a 20-year old.

You said "tragic", not "groomed by intelligence agencies tragic".

Maybe you thought the context was clear, but I honestly had no idea that was what you were trying to convey.

It’s not tragic, either. He was happily married for the last 20+ years of his life and even his daughter reconciled with him.
