    Yeah but think of the impact on society, any of us could be those top 8 if we just worked hard enough!

        It won’t. The kind of people who would offer themselves up to be killed for the good of humanity aren’t the kind of people who make a billion dollars unless they hit the lottery a few times in a row.

          I mean, they could just give away 90% of a billion dollars, leaving them with a pathetic 100 million dollars.

            That’s what gets me when people defend billionaires. You could take 99 percent of that and they’d still have 10 million dollars which is still multiples of what the average worker makes in a lifetime. They could still live without a worry in the world.

        Shit if I ever end up in the top million let me know so I can solve that via charity and pro worker lobbying right quick.

        I’ll sign this pact too.

        Once I’m into the top 1000 net worths on earth (practically a given to happen), I’ll just retire.

        If my valuable assets force me into the top 100 (more likely than not), I’ll hire somebody to find good charities to prop up.

        If I stumble into the top 10 billion/trillion-aires, go ahead and do what you gotta do and remind my widow to do nice things with the estate.
