And here comes the philanthropy bull####
Rich people have done far more harm to the world by using their massive wealth to buy off politicians, buy elections, and lie to the world about everything from cancer risks to climate change... than good they've done by donating money. And as pointed out, when they've donated it's usually been done as a sneaky scheme to avoid paying taxes.
Now are there some billionaires who have been a net benefit to the world? Yes, there are. But they are few and far between.
