Being that powerful and wealthy doesn’t happen without doing horrible things. Then, once a person achieves that status, the pressures change and they just become worse.

It’s not possible. They’ve Hoover’d up money and direct where it’s used.

At any point they could give emough back to the people to become less then billionaires. But they don’t.

Bezos' ex wife has already done more good for humanity than he could ever hope to achieve

Bourgeois class traitors are a rare breed, and bourgeois class traitors in powerful positions are a pipe dream. The capitalist class—which owns the means of production and gets its wealth by expropriating surplus value from the working class’ wages or by rent-seeking—are not going to save us.

Jay Pritzker (governor of Illinois) seems like an okay dude.

I like Mark Cuban for the whole https://www.costplusdrugs.com/ thing he's doing. I have no idea whether or not he's a decent guy, but this is a decent thing to do, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Closest I can think of is GabeN and like all of us he's certainly not perfect

Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.

Jeff Atwood (stack overflow and discourse cofounder) seems pretty cool for someone who made a shitton of money in tech. Everyone I know who's met him says he's a nice and normal human being, and he's currently funding a UBI program as well as giving copiously to high-quality charities.

Closest I can think of is post-Microsoft Bill Gates, with the humanitarian/healthcare stuff he's been involved in. He was a total piece of shit as Microsoft's CEO, though, what with the aggressive anti-trust practices and all. Not that the ones that came after were much better (especially Ballmer).
