I disagree. There is ONE billionaire that is not evil.

Wanna know who?Tell me when you know about one.

Pavel Durov. Owner of Telegram.

For a decade I'm waiting for him to slip on his lies and spill out the billionaire evil. But there's still no drama, no posing, no yacht, no island, no employee-torturing, no supercars, no castles... Just a guy who happened to get a ton of moneyz and trying to fulfil his vision of a free messenger that won't cooperate with governments like the others do. There's a reason it's banned in many countries and he's even been deported from his motherland.

Not saying he's an angel, and billionaires really shouldn't exist at all. But if i had to choose one of them to get a fair trial instead of the ad-hoc-guillotine, it'd be him.

A dead one? Maybe you mean Bill Gates?

Well, he is still alive physically.

I wasn't saying bill gates was dead. I was asking if the only good billionaire was a dead billionaire. I was then suggesting you might believe Bill Gates is the one good billionaire. They were separate possible answers I was trying to think of.

I only said he was physically alive. (Spoiler: dead inside)

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
