I do not think there is a separation between billionaires the people from billionaires as a construct.
I really think they are genuinely bad people. It’s impossible to remain subject to the same stressors of life that bind society with that kind of money. It begins to distance one and they break away from the fabric of society but with an immense footprint upon that society.
Chances are you are a pretty good person. If you came into a billion dollars tomorrow, you wouldn’t be a good person within a year. It corrupts absolutely.
If you came into a billion dollars tomorrow and had the opportunity to help so many people but kept it all for yourself you’re already not a good person. You don’t even need to wait a year.
If I came into a billion dollars I’d spend the rest of my time attempting to spend it helping people. I would expect the same of anyone else. Someone’s going to inherit a billionaire fortune soon and just give it all away, at least thats my hope. Someone’s gotta lead by example.
even fucking bill gates realizes that he can trivially donate hideous sums of money and not even fucking notice it, and it’s the sensible thing to do even if you’re a complete psychopath because it’s good PR.
Ding ding ding
I’m sure as a person she’s okay, but yes.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist, ever
Private Jets shouldn’t exist, ever

Bluesky shitlibs would have some strong words for you, as well as anyone (me) that would dare disrespect their queen, their fierce feminine icon!
