> What has the predicted worth (that is mostly non-liquid) of the top 10 richest people got to do with anything? There used to be a time when rich people did something for the common good with all their (often questionably) gotten money. Even kings had to buy the favor of the commoners, lest they start a riot, and the various variants of mafia are generally known for their generosity in areas where they set up shop. Today's neo-feudalist class has completely forgotten this very basic rule, and people are getting pissed massively. As for why that is related? Well, easy, for someone like Jeff Bezos, funding ocean cleanup or whatever would be not even a tiny dent in his bank accounts...
