    Not a modern “billionaire”, but you can make an argument that Andrew Carnegie spent a lot of his fortune on things that weren’t awful.

      Carnegie is probably the “best” billionaire in modern history. You can’t go to a town in America without seeing some park or public building that was built with his money. I wish more 1% actually followed the Gospel of Wealth.

        Not just America - my home town in New Zealand had a Carnegie library. I live in Scotland now, where his birthplace is a museum. https://www.carnegiebirthplace.com/ His money is still funding various trusts in the UK.
