This is probably true. But given that we presently live in a world where billionaires do exist I dont think it does any harm to know which ones we can feel appreciative of. At least, that's how I use a list like this.
- asdff 7y agoThis list is damning to me. So much greed. Who cares if you donated 36 billion if you are removing 74 billion from circulation at the bottom and sitting on top of your pile like Smaug in the Hobbit.
- ggreer 7y agoYou have a fundamental misunderstanding of how wealth works. Wealth isn't conserved. It's created and destroyed. No billionaire has a pile of money or a bank account with $1 billion in it. Their wealth is in equity in the companies they've founded and run. It's invested- used for productive purposes such as building better software and services. Or scaling the number of Whole Foods delivery staff. Or building contact tracing apps. Even if you're perfectly greedy, hoarding wealth as a pile of cash or gold is a terrible idea. You'll end up with far more money if you invest it.
