I thought there was no right and wrong in Buddhism as well as no self.

It's all just an illusion. So what's it matter?

He's got a pretty good gig going on. He lives in a beautiful french estate, jets around the world in private jets, parties with the stars and lives a pretty nice lifestyle.

"I thought there was no right and wrong in Buddhism as well as no self."

You're referring to the Buddhism of the eastern US and the left coast.

You need to do a little more reading. Buddhism is not a "new age" religion. The concept of right behavior is pretty close to Christian values in such things as "Love your Neighbor", value of chastity in monks, prohibitions on alcohol, theft, envy, adultry, murder, honesty, equality, etc.
