  1. Ha. Good luck the richest people on this planet only care about power.

    With all the wealth in the world no one should be starving or having to work multiple jobs to survive.

  2. Jesus this is lazy.

    1st, good for her for doing philanthropy. Not going to look too closely into any of the charities and will simply hope they are doing actual philanthropy and not just funneling money to friends/family in the name of charity.

    2nd, she didn’t become a billionaire overnight. Her husband founded a cloud based storage and data analysis company that jumped on a hyped up market 8 years after their founding. He left Oracle after being a data architect to found the company. They haven’t been poor in a long time. This is (most likely) millionaires who struck it big.

  3. Relying on the “goodwill” is no way to support society. We need guarantees.

  4. Like asking bill gates to give away his land to the unlanded?
