People who think Jacques is a money-grubbing asshole really need to rewatch Vol.4.

He cares about money, obviously, like any other CEO of any other big company. But money seems secondary-at-best for him, what he actually cares about a damn lot is the Public Reputation of the Schnee name in general.

Even when he was lecturing Weiss for what she did at the Charity Party, he barely bothered to mention the consequences it would have on the SDC's profits, while when explaining the effects it had on their public image he was seemingly having a tiny panic attack.

Here, taken from V4E7's transcript:

Jacques: Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. 

Jacques suddenly stops, then turns and points at her.

Jacques: Do you have any idea what your stunt cost us?

Weiss: I—

Jacques: (cutting her off) And don't think I'm just talking about Lien here! '''Our reputation! Our… our…'''

''Jacques sighs angrily and holds his head, unable to come up with the words to finish expressing the gravity of her mistake. Weiss waits for a moment before speaking''.

Weiss: I want to leave.

Jacques: I beg your pardon?

Weiss: I said I want to leave. I don't want to stay here anymore. I don't want to stay in Atlas anymore!

Jacques: Young lady, I don't give a damn about what you want! This isn't about you. This is about the Schnee family name and your apparent insistence on dragging it through the mud!
