* As mentioned above, Joseph Pulitzer in ''[[Newsies]]''. He raises the wholesale price of his newspapers by 10% because he wants more money (and who cares about the starving homeless orphans who have to pay for it?).

* Ian Hawke from the ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]]'' [[Alvin and the Chipmunks|film series]]. In the first film, he discourages Dave from furthering his music career at the beginning, then once the Chipmunks get famous, he proceeds to spoil them, distance them from Dave, and tire them out from constant tours. It wasn't until the Chipmunks see Dave infiltrating one of their concerts that they realise Ian's a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|bastard in sheep's clothing]].
