Strangely I don't begrudge Bill Gate's wealth. There could have been far better examples for this article.
He did have more than a little entitlement to get him going but he didn't rest on it - when he was in the right time at the right place he worked hard to make it happen.
Plus he is now giving all his wealth to charity and virtually nothing to his kids as inheritance.
How about the Walton children or the Koch children.
- judk 13y agoHe isn't giving all his wealth. He is keeping more than any one else (to insignificant approximaton error) will ever hope to see in their life.
- mistermann 13y agoI imagine the recipients probably have a more positive and realistic view of the matter than you.
- lifeformed 13y agoI agree, I think his use of his entitlement should be exemplified. Are people born into wealth supposed to feel bad about it, and not make the best of the opportunity? He made the most of it, and now he is in a prime position to do objective good. (Edited for clarity.)
- ck2 13y agoJust to clarify, I meant that some people are born into wealth and don't do anything but live off a trust fund, which is the opposite of what he did.
- lifeformed 13y agoOh yeah, I agree with you, I should probably reword my response though, it sounds like I am disagreeing.
