This is better than before but, to be fair, not all billionaires are horrible people. Google estimates there are about 2800 billionaires in the world and if I scan Wikipedia's top 10 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wo...s_Billionaires) most are not bad people. I dare say that of the top 10, 6-7 of them have done more good than harm - Ballmer, Gates, Buffett for sure are positive, Bezos, Ellison, Page are debatable with Musk and Zuck the only clear evil ones. I don't know about Arnault (LVMH) and Ambani.

It only takes a few billionaires to be truly evil though to do some real damage to the world.

Now if billionaires need to fear for their lives in the same way that many of the poor and working class do then I'm sorta ok with that. Their kids go to private schools with little risk of a mass shooting. They never live with any doubt that a single medical incident could bankrupt them etc.
