World is to depressing to think every single billionaire is awful, even though it’s probably true With the constant increase of the wealth divide, what justification is there for being a billionaire and having more money than you can spend? If you're wealth-hoarding to that extent, it's to the detriment of other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would be a billionaire if she hadn’t spent hundreds of millions of her wealth on schoolbooks and education for people in poverty, or paying for her employees college education and training, or millions on Covid vaccine research and outreach.  She is still enormously wealthy of course, but she has chosen not to hoard wealth to an extreme degree and use it to help.  Of course, if anyone wanted to really defend Tony Sniff on that point, they’d say he isn’t a billionaire, his dad is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cofounded airport retailer Duty Free Shoppers with Robert Miller in 1960, was worth $8 billion, then spent the next 40 years donating virtually all of that $8 billion to charities, universities and foundations worldwide. He anonymously revamped Vietnam’s health care system, donated more than $870 million to human rights and social change, $62 million in grants to abolish the death penalty in the U.S. and $76 million for grassroots campaigns supporting the passage of Obamacare. He lives in a rented apartment in San Francisco, and until he was 75 he only ever travelled coach on any journeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Ah, right. He isn’t a billionaire then if he gave it away, he gets the Kool Keith approval. That’s really cool about the healthcare in Vietnam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
