They don't get to be that wealthy without being deeply evil and broken people. No decent person could accumulate that kind of wealth without spending the vast majority of it to alleviate the suffering of other human beings.

The last thing anyone should do is kiss the ass of another hedge fund manager because after he got his he sprinkles a bit of it on good causes to buy himself a secular indulgence.

They should all be on notice: the era of the billionaire oligarch is coming to an end.
