Is it possible to be a billionaire and not be an arsehole too ?


MacKenzie Scott has been giving away a ton of money recently. Don't know if that puts her in a better category.


It worked for Bill Gates temporarily. Has Warren Buffet been canc^H^H^Honsequenced yet?


You can’t be a billionaire without lots of people calling you an asshole.


You don’t make a billion dollars by being generous to other people.


Chuck Feeney would disagree.

He didn't get rich by giving it away though? He also gave a bunch of it to already wealthy institutions like Cornell, so even the philanthropy is kind of typical billionaire nonsense.


No.
