Of all the billionaires who do exist Bill and Melinda would probably agree with you. Bill has been pretty clear that he always played the game to win but he’s also stated he intends to give it all away and he’s openly recruiting other billionaires to give it all away as well.
I suppose evil billionaires could give it away to make the world a worse plCe, say by developing something like sharks with lasers on their heads, But again in these guys case they’re giving it away to help eliminate malaria around the world.
If all billionaires were like Bill and the Melinda I suppose the world would be a significantly better place.
Bill Gates puts ridiculous conditions on the money he gives, usually so that they benefit him in some way.
If you want to tout a billionaire as a person to laud, then look to Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, who really is giving it away and with no strings attached.
Bill Gates ruined lives as he cheated, lied, and stole his way to the top. I actually do respect a lot of the work he has done in his later years but let’s not forget the monster he was and how his terrible treatment of others created that wealth. They weren’t called the Pirates of Silicon Valley for nothing.
Ultimately that money shouldn’t be in his hands anyway. It should be in the hands of the government, which makes it accountable to us via the representatives we vote in. We as society should dictate where these things go, not a few individuals controlling a disproportionate amount of wealth they did not even earn. He could wake up tomorrow and say “you know what? Trump is right and I think vaccines are bullshit” and there’s nothing we can do about it. Billions of dollars would potentially flood Trump and anti-vaccine movements. All because one person didn’t have his cup of coffee or slept poorly the night before after reading the wrong YouTube comment.
Take a look at how Musk operates. Dude throws tantrums worth millions on the regular. He bought Twitter at least partially out of spite ffs.
Bilionairs should not exist.

Except we keep electing dick heads who literally don’t want to take his money.
If no billionaires existed, the world would be even better than that.
Every time Bill or Melinda Gates are mentioned, there’s always someone waiting to suck their dick in the comments.
Agee with your comment. Don’t love the homophobic/gendered “suck their dick” aspect.
