Bill Gates. (Has donated money to charity and founded one himself).
Has donated money to his own charoty to aviod taxes and then did donations to manipulate world politics for his own agenda
There, FTFY
He donated money before having founded his charity.
J.K. Rowling, amongst others, have given away so much money that they've lost their billionaire status.
Chuck Feeney out here just existing and you having the audacity to suggest that good billionaire's don't exist. 3.7 Billion dollars donated in his lifetime.
Jeffrey Epstein, when he killed himself, probably.
Pretty sure he didnβt kill himself any more than Prince Andrew doesnβt sweat.
Thus ensuring Trump's compromat would not get revealed. Suuuure he killed himself...
Give me a billion dollars and I'll donate some to the ravioli foundation.
The amount of exploitation and destruction of the environment that it takes to accumulate 1 billion dollars can never be offset by any amount of βgoodβ that is done by money. If I extract resources and a exploit a community and get a billion dollars, then turn around and give every cent back to that community, surplus value will still be lost.
That one brought a couple friends and his billionaire son down and unalived together.
Probably unintentional, but that one moment saved the planet a lot of hurt down the line I'm sure.
Batman
Kanye West made "Graduation".
That's not to excuse the gigantic list of awful things he said and did (especially recently), but finding ONE thing a bad person did isn't hard.
Michael Kelly caused Blockbuster to go out of business.
Some of them have died already. That is good.
Double dog dare me?
