It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.

      That’s not grotesque and that’s not wealth. But still a nice thought to keep in mind.

      I wish these people were as famous as the loud-ass billionaires we have.

      There certainly have been such people. But none were ever billionaires. Such people do something which creates great value. Billionaires are parasites who do nothing but siphon value away from society.
