    The answer is no, to become that rich you need to not care a single bit about the rest of humanity.

      Not really. What about someone like Notch? Sold Minecraft for $2.5B and became an instant billionaire, no exploitation there.

      Now he became an asshole after the fact, but there has to be some people who can become extremely wealthy without taking from others. Sure once you get there by luck and hard work then you should be giving back.

      What about the guy that Elon had issue with on Twitter from Sweden who sold something to Twitter and become very wealthy but wanted to pay as much tax as possible etc and just be a nice dude.

        Unless someone in their situation get the money and just redistributes it all directly to people in need or to charities, to then only keep what’s needed to make them middle class for the rest of their lives, they’re just evil.

        “He wanted to pay as much taxes as possible!”

        Sure, and then he’s still rich while others are struggling.

      Or conversely you have to place your own self worth so high that I would consider it a mental disorder.
