I met Rosen once at show where we were both set up. From this one meeting, I formed on opinion of the man that persists to this day:

The world was a stage to him, he thought himself the principal actor, and the stacks of cash were very effective props. Whether one found his methods distasteful (I did) or brilliant, one thing was readily apparent.

He got results.

I'm not saying you should mirror what Rosen did. Most people couldn't pull it off. However, don't dismiss it out of hand.
