I think the school of effective altruism* would say you have to be rich to do a lot of good. One could even argue Bill Gates' comfort of not cooking, shopping or cleaning for himself is good, given he uses is power/wealth for good more efficiently if he doesn't do chores. (putting has past aside for arguments sake) So I'd say it usually is immoral, unless you use almost all your wealth to do good.* * It gets really interesting if we ask if being rich is immoral. I'm not rich in my country, but I'm rich compared to people in other countries. Does this, especially with our colonialist past (and present), make me immoral? I think it does and yet it would help little if I lived a more frugal life either. I'm living a compromise and it's biased towards my well being. I'm living very moderate, what I don't need I save for later, not much travel either. And yet I own good speakers, purely for my pleasure, financed by my privilege of being a white male in the "western world". * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism * * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdro3Zz5YsM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdro3Zz5YsM ;)
