I've been saying that forever. You cannot be a billionaire and also be a good person. It is impossible (unless you inherited every penny from a dead relative).

Melinda French Gates helped build her family's fortune, yet she is objectively a good person. A major contributor to their divorce was her distaste of Bill's relationship with Epstein. A more accurate statement is that examples of good person billionaires are hard but not impossible to find.

I just can't fathom sitting on billions of dollars and keeping it all. I have a problem where I give people too much which sometimes shorts myself. To imagine just holding on to billions while the world suffers isn't in my vocabulary. I'd only keep a bare-minimum to sustain my own living.

This may require an "artists and athletes" exception. There are a handful of billionaires who earned their money through their art or through sports. Not all are good people, but some certainly are.
