I'd basically become Bill Gates without the monopoly.
People criticise the big philanthropists for skewing all the work their way, but that's more a product of not enough funding elsewhere than of the foundations being bad themselves.
If you see Bill Gates’ philanthropy in a positive light, then his public relations machine has done a number on you.
I did mention the criticisms there. Nobody else is stepping up to buy mosquito nets in the amount needed, though, so unsurprisingly Bill Gates gets to run the show, even when he has bad ideas.
