His personal wealth is estimated to be some tens of millions, which isn't that special for a modern top politician. He was probably the least wealthy candidate in the election. For comparison, Marine Le Pens estimated personal wealth is about ten times that of Macrons.
As for "total asshat", sounds like you've listened to some all-liberals-are-devils nonsense.
Macrons personal charm and social skills are considered his strenghts. He's described as someone who can "make you feel like what you're saying is very intelligent", "a genius in human relationships" etc. Trudeau or Obama are probably better comparisons, politicians with disarming personal charm.
Really the biggest questionmark about Macron is to what extent he's a puppet for the super-rich in the finance sector. There's a lot about his meteoric rise that makes it look like he was hand-picked by someone to be groomed for a major role in politics.
