The philosophy that matters is not the philosophy we profess, but the philosophy we practice. (That’s a paraphrase of a quote by Francis Chan.)
There are many who profess Objectivism but do not practice it well, or do not practice it at all—or even worse, they mis-practice it. I will write some more about this shortly.

In the population of 7.7 billion in the world, how many role model objectivists are there ?
By “role model” I mean exemplary in conduct.
I don’t know very many Objectivists, but my sister once claimed to be one, and still, I think, claims to be a libertarian. Yet, her Trump hatred brought her to the point where she told me she is glad the Hunter Biden laptop story was pooh-poohed by “50 top former intelligence officials,” even though she now knows the story was legitimate. She is now urging her friends to vote Democrat. Personally (and Carl, I know you are an atheist), I think demons have invaded her brain.
I agree and look forward to your comments. This brings to mind, live and let live and by his fruits ye shall know him.
