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 β€œgood” 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.

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.
