The 93-year-old co-founder of Home Depot has attacked the current generation of business leaders for prioritizing 'woke' issues at the expense of their shareholders and employees.
Bernie Marcus, who Bloomberg estimates is worth more than $5billion, said he was dismayed to see the world's business leaders meeting in Davos this year and advocating investment in issues that 'don't hit the bottom line'.
'I don't really understand the new leadership,' he said on Fox Business Network. 'We need new leaders who are thinking about the shareholders and their employees. I think today it's all about woke, diversity - things that don't hit the bottom line.'

Marcus was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and member of the White House reopening task force during COVID. He said he has given money to both Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis - Trump's potential rival for the 2024 GOP nomination.
