Raging hot take on Lemmy, but yeah, agreed. He was a bastard to get the money. All that money is going to, like, starving African kids, though. If I was him I'd do the same shit and sleep like a baby.
Meanwhile, Bezos builds dick rockets and nobody complains, because he keeps out of the headlines.
There's ~2000 confirmed billionares on Earth. Some do philanthropy, some do evil, but most just enjoy being comically rich, like Jeff.
Honestly that sounds about like what the people I know would do. This is because it's all random chance, and they are an average group of people.
Well, sure, not in the ~2000 are guys like Putin or the Saudi royals. We all know they have way more than just a billion, but we can't prove it. Then again, there's a lot of mean people who are still poor. I've met some.
The math is sound. I'm always linking that thing because more people need to know.
