Are there any billionaires who actively use their wealth for good? I only know about 2 and even those idk if I should count. One was some guy that gave all his billions to charity and kept for himself only one million. Other is bezos's ex wife, as far as I know she periodically sends very large sums of money to charity.
Idk I feel like writing a check for charity is not good enough, they could be so much more active and done lot more if they idk... build hospital, shool.... cheap housing etc.
Bill Gates has given huge amounts to charity, as in a massive chunk of his net worth, he eventually plans to give away the vast majority of it.
