      He can only make billions in profits when he has billions to invest. If he kept giving everything away it would take him much longer to make the same amount of money.

        I’m sorry what? He hasn’t made anything. The value created by the companies he owns is generated by the workers. He simply takes all that value that they’ve generated, and gives a poultry amount of it towards charities and NGOs to whitewash his reputation.

        He’s not a nice guy, he’s a greedy ghoul.

            You don’t understand that he and his ilk perpetuate the systems that result in healthcare and education being out of reach for so many people. All billionaires do a bit of philanthropy because look at how easy it is to fool people into thinking they deserve their obscene wealth.

                “The cause” 😂 This is the most unserious response I can imagine. I’m going to remember this one; it’s really impressive.

                  You’re making a lot of wild accusations about a financial investor who doesn’t even regularly attend shareholder meetings. As someone who has gone to business school and worked in corporate, I can tell you that you’re subscribing way too hard to the hollywood painting of investors. It’s fine if you disagree but you are just making assumptions at the end of the day and I’m providing documented metrics.

                    Please stop before you embarrass yourself further. This is r/neoliberal[1][2] levels of bourgeois boosterism. Next you’re going to clutch pearls over poor Brian Thompson’s tragic death.

                    I’m subscribing to the Marxist view of the capitalist class. I don’t form my opinions based on movies and I’m not sure what movies you’ve seen that paint investors in the way I’m describing them, but do you have any recommendations, because they sound awesome.
