Every time I read a story like this, I console myself with the fact that there are decent rich people out there like Warren Buffett, Mackenzie Scott, and George Lucas. (Bill Gates is on the fence; it's hard to forgive him for the Linux Wars.)

- anamax 3y agoEvery one of Buffet's "for the good of all" policy positions put money in his pocket. For example, at least one of the BH insurance companies makes serious money from the estate tax, a tax that doesn't hit Buffet's estate....

- dgrin91 3y agoI'm a fan of Buffet, but you can easily say he is a 'bad' billionaire. He makes profits (and a lot of them) by pushing Coke and other unhealthy things on the masses. You could argue that buffet directly funds a significant percentage of diabetes cases in the world. You can say similar things about the others
