There are no ethical billionaires.
Can’t remember his name (which was his point), but there was one who donated all but 1 million to causes, and left in his will that everything should be donated. All anonymously. He said nobody needs more than a million, and didn’t want to be named in things.
He was the only one who seemed to get it, and I can’t remember his name, which seemed to be what he wanted. All the rest are snakes.
Chuck Feeney. An actual role-model to follow if you become uber-wealthy.
Though he was never uber wealthy (because he chose not to be) but the woz donates his meagre wealth to schools and museums. He could have been Elon musk wealthy but he chose not to.
Woz is a good guy in person. I met him at a design conference in the early aughts. He seemed like a very down to earth person, happy to answer questions, and just nice.
I've never met him, but he was on /. recently and he seemed like a good person. I wish him well
