2023 kinda rocked. Pat Robinson, died during pride month, Charlie munger, and Henry kissinger both died in November.
I can’t think of anyone else but a good deal of scum bags dying make this world a better place.
Always out live your enemies. I’m rooting for Warren buffet and Bill O’Reilly to croak in the next few years.
What did Warren Buffett do?
You don’t get billions of dollars being a good person. Just remember that.
Michael Jordan is a billionaire. Peter Jackson, McKenzie Scott, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg. Tiger Woods may be a bad husband, but that’s not how he made his money. Dolly Parton would be a billionaire if she hadn’t given away so much, she’s definitely earned a billion.
McKenzie Scott
Is absolutely a good person, but all the cash she’s giving away is cash that her ex-husband Jeff Bezos didn’t give away, and continues to make through truly repulsive anti-worker practices.
When you are a worker at Amazon, you literally have to redirect your bodily functions (either hold it or find a jug) to even begin to meet the inhuman production standards, and that’s before you get to all the safety violations, unionbusting, etc. Then there’s Amazon business model itself: the open embracing of counterfeit goods, refusal to police its own site adequately, fake reviews, dark patterns, etc.
MacKenzie Scott is indeed a good person. We know this because she found life with one of the world’s worst people to be unsustainable and left, and then set about giving away all that dirty cash to make the world a better place. But she doesn’t belong on this billionaire list, IMO, as she is simply a divorcée with a payout and secondary to the guy who actually made the billions.
Idk though, gold-digging the worlds most repulsive people to get half their worth just to donate what they never would seems like a noble endeavor. And swindling the billionaire class through romance, just to Robin Hood it away is a public service we should be praising.
I wouldn’t disagree, lol. But MacKenzie Scott married Bezos in good faith years before he became the Lex Luthor of capitalism.
Personality wise, type attracts type, and usually in that kind of marriage you have two highly motivated acquirers of wealth instead of just one. Which is to say that someone willing to marry for excessive wealth is probably not going to be the kind to give it all away after years of swallowing knob to get it, any more than Melania Trump is about to become a noted philanthropist or Anna Nicole Smith devoted her life to charity. (Nothing against Anna Nicole, just sayin.)
