I don't know, you'd probably have to ask a billionaire that's ruining the lives of other people to earn their second (or tenth) billion.
Not all of them actively do that, but a large number very actively pursue that sort of thing.
- bboygravity 1y agoI highly doubt any self-made billionaire who keeps pushing for more is actually pushing for more money specifically. It seems to me that more money is a side-effect of whatever they're addicted to doing.

- jstanley 1y agoI'm not sure I buy it. You don't get to be a billionaire by being net harmful, you do it by selling goods and services that people want, at scale, and capturing a portion of the wealth you created.
- NegativeK 1y agoThere are quite a few businesses that made a lot of money selling net harmful goods. Tobacco and Oxycontin come to mind. But even selling things that help people doesn’t absolve or prevent someone from doing evil things before or after they hit some specific valuation.
