There are thousands of billionaires and no one does actually do something good or even cool (like free waterparks? Museums? A train fomewhere?) with their wealth. Even elon just bought companies, he's no invetor or even creator.

So boring on top if the obvious grift.

There is a former billionaire in Florida who gave scholarships for everyone in a certain area who graduated. I can't remember his name off the top of my head because he isn't an attention-seeking asshole and I don't see it every week.
