You never hear shit from Larry Page or Steve Ballmer or Sergei Brin. All three are among the 10 richest people in the world, worth well over $100 billion each. Not a peep.
Controversial take: comments saying “if I had billions, I would spend it on projects that benefit people and the world”: that’s because you’re good people. Billionaires (mostly? Too often?) made their money by engaging in activities that don’t benefit people and the world.
Idk. I’d like to say that I’d be generous with my money if I had $400bil, but I don’t think I would. I mean, I’d prob pay for some really fancy libraries and maybe a couple of hospitals. But other than that I’d prob just blow the rest of it on random stupid shit. My only saving grace is I don’t really like people so besides the absurdly lavish parties (think gatsby levels - diamonds in champagne flutes etc) where I show up at about 8 and by 9 I’m in one of my other houses cuz I’m too tired…
I would find so many satellites for research stuff, or just science in general, with only the stipulation that the scientists tell me what they’re doing in a way I would understand.
If i had a billion dollars, I'd be doing all of the philanthropy, and I will have trains, lots and lots of trains, real ones, small ones, tiny little trains. I would have the biggest model train set.
For real. If I had $400 billion dollars, I'd be busy buying up real estate and ecologically restoring/enhancing it as well as donating to/working with other environmental causes. I wouldn't be wasting a single second of my life on social media of any kind.

Buying medical debt for pennies on the dollar and canceling it all. Then throwing massive parties for the debt free.

Why can’t they have passion projects like getting really in to model trains or whatever.

Your reading comprehension needs work, my friend.

Yeah but people who think like that never make it to a billion.
You have to be fucking nuts. Even the low profile fuckers are still sociopathic freaks. Just quietly.

I wish you had that money man. I like your plan.

But then you wouldn't have 400 billion dollars. Thats the crazy part about them is they don't want to give their money away.

If I had $400bil I'd build a rocket and send other rich people into space... I'd save money by not bringing them back...

trebuchets are far more eco friendly...

There is a small chance they may land safely...
