Wrong thread
And Buffet and Gates are like the WW2 of billionaires.
Yeah. They have some redeeming features, but if you step away from āwar is badā or āhoarding billions while the world burns and children starve is badā because of those lone examples, you are gonna cause plenty of harm.
I donāt disagree with this very strongly. I can only name a few more billionaires and the rest suck kind of a lot.

There are a lot of dumb takes in this discussion, Iām not singling this one out, just using it as a jump off point. Tons of people inherit wealth, should we hate them on that fact alone? Like, are they supposed to just turn down their inheritance and if they donāt they are an awful person? If thatās your standard for awful, there are few people who arenāt awful, because there are few who would turn down or give away a multi-million dollar inheritance. Wtf is wrong with you people? Spend some time off social media, itās rotting everyoneās brains.
That Playboy piece sure is zero-content.

I appreciated the tone at least.
They can give away what they donāt personally need to live comfortably to help people who have less than what they need. Again Iām not saying you need to live like a pauper but nobody needs three mansions, ten cars, etc.
And i suppose we could debate where we draw the line.
Iām in Spain right now on vacation. Did I need it? Probably not. But the impact on society as a whole is negligible whether i spend a few thousand dollars doing that or donated it somewhere. When you have billions and you decide to hoard that wealth you are consciously saying my well being is more important than the well being of hundreds or thousands of others. Iām not sure how else you can look at it.
