(+) Yeah! (+)

To become a billionaire, you generally have to be a sociopathic evil piece of shit in the first place. He has thrown countless people under his feet in a desparate scramble for wealth.

He won't do anything to help others without expecting something in return.

Seems like he'd have to go the Ironman route instead, since he doesn't seem to have any physical capabilities.

Apparently there was a Batman Vs. TMNT movie...

Good people don't become billionaires. Like it's just impossible with how society is set up to reach the top without stepping on the backs of everyone you cross on you way up.

Bill Gates is obviously the most evil one with all his charitable donations.

Zeus has an understanding of how much money one billion is. If you know what one billion means, you would agree that having over one billion dollars isn't something that happens without screwing people over. There aren't a lot of kind billionaires, if any at all.

Bezos has a net worth equal to that of a million average Americans combined.

Bill Gates is obviously the most evil one with all his charitable donations.

Prior to him saying "okay I'm rich enough now time to give it all away," he was indeed pretty evil. Gates did not become a billionaire by being a good person. Quite the opposite. That he's committed himself to philanthropy now means judging his life as a whole is going to be substantially more complex than that assessment, and there's a reasonable chance the good will outweigh the bad (though also a reasonable chance that the reverse will be true), but it's definitely not inaccurate to say that he did not become a billionaire as a good person.

It is also worth noting that, for all his apparent philanthropy, his charitable donations have been pretty trivial compared to the kind of expenditures he's actually capable of. He's done a lot, and that's cool, but he could be doing so many orders of magnitude more. His philanthropy should still be recognized, but praising it should take into account how much he's actually committing himself to it.

good and bad are relative, its all about perspective
