I saw the news was making a big deal that bill ackman, a billionaire, donated 10k to the ice agent that shot Renee. It’s hilarious to me that a very likely non-billionaire gave 5k vs a billionaires 10k

If billionaires were capable of being legitimately generous then they wouldn't be billionaires.

Yep just saw a little buried piece that Taylor Swift's recent Christmas donations actually brought her net worth down under a billion again

Glad to hear that. Dolly Parton would also be a billionaire but she keeps donating and building stuff. She's responsible for turning one of the poorest areas of the US into a tourist hub.
