Llewellyn Moss (No Country For Old Men, Cormac McCarthy).Read about the other gold diggers on the list.
While hunting in the south Texas desert, Vietnam vet Llewellyn Moss stumbles across the bloody site of a drug deal gone wrong. Unwisely, he takes the case of money (complete with tracking device) left behind, putting him in the sights of ruthless hit man Anton Chigurh. Even as Chigurh closes in on him, Moss refuses to yield the money to him or anyone, in spite of the fact that refusing to do means his days are numbered.
Happiness factor: It’s hard to be happy when you’re dead.
