Tony Khan created AEW and seems to genuinely care about his employees. He put on a private plane this week so the wrestlers could attend the funeral of Bray Wyatt and still make it to Dynamite
Wrong
As a wrestling fan, what giddy described is pretty much true. For a billionaire, Tony is "nice" (too nice, because his niceness has lead to a toxic backstage environment, though he did finally fire CM Punk so thats nice). Like sure it doesn't outweight the exploitation inherent in being a billionaire, but Tony is indeed a "nice guy" and does go out of his way to do nice things for his employees. Also gives them health insurance in an industry where thats not the standard and such.
And the question was "a billionaire who done anything good" not "a billionaire who's overally contribution to the world is good". Giddy answered the question correctly. Sorry to autism you with pedantry but like, I have to insist on some technically accurateness here.
Like honestly, did you even know who Tony was before this post or did you just respond wrong because you were going to do that to anyone who said any billionaire did something good? Are you actually knowledgeable about this subject?
I'm not saying he doesnt get the wall in a revolution or anything. But the post asked "Did anything good", and he did. he did good things for his employees.
