There's no honest way to have that much money.
This is a common misconception that money = evil. My great grandfather came over to the US and started a hardware and electric supplies company, helped unionized workers and was one of the nicest people in the world. His other grandkids carried on the family business, kept it in fully legal standing, spun off other companies that helped buy and renovate classic buildings and resell them at a loss just because they were historical to their town.
You hear a lot about the famous billionaires because they have broken the law, done horrible things and tainted an image of having money.
Rest assured there are plenty of rich people who care about people, donate a ton of money and do things to help their community. But nobody wants to hear 'local billionaire builds animal rescue shelter and donates enough money to keep it staffed and non-profit for 10 years" because it doesn't make that person sound evil at all.
You only hear about the bad ones because bad news sells.
