I think you should start out reading some anarchist theory, like The Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin, rather than try to use it to label people evil or good.
It's not a tool to judge people's goodness or badness, even if it can be used as a guide to judge the relations between two people.
Your friends accumulation of wealth probably doesn't jive with anarchist principles for a wide variety of reasons, even if they don't exploit labor. That doesn't mean they're evil people. And just because someone exploits labor, doesn't mean they are necessarily evil.
Thanks for the recommendations and taking my question seriously :)
