Sunjay Kapur, friend of Prince William and ex-husband of Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, reportedly died of anaphylactic shock after being stung by a bee during a polo match in Windsor, England.
The news: “He will be greatly missed not only by his family and friends but the local community around his club as he employed so many people and made so many friends — he was fun, kind and generous. He didn’t distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends — when he had a party, everyone was invited and everyone was equal.” He leaves behind a daughter and two young sons.
This forum: Didn’t read the article, don’t know anything about him but good on the bee. Yay death!
Billionaires don’t get to be billionaires by being nice or good.
Name one “good” billionaire, I’ll wait.
They also support each other with the media outlets they own.
This guy made his new wife sleep with his friends right after their wedding.
They let news outlets release this to press back in the day because it was a man’s world and they didn’t care about the optics like they do now.
Broadly I would tend to agree but… there’s plenty of billionaires who give away billions. Rather than wait, just google it. It doesn’t mean they’re nice people but their money does good. There’s no getting around that.
I know that most wealthy people give money either as a performance for others or out of guilt but that’s still money given to people who need it. Personally I don’t care about their motives so long as their money actually helps.
As for somehow creating some kind of socialist utopia where billionaires don’t exist, you would be ignoring our entire history as a species. Sooner or later “some animals are more equal than others”. It sucks, particularly if you are the sort of person who has an abundance of empathy but there it is. Best we can do, I reckon, is look after the people in our immediate vicinity. If we all did that mind you then maybe things would get better but I’m not holding my breath.
Like who, bill gates and Warren buffet? Are you sure they’re giving away their billions or did they just say so? Or are they giving their money to “charities” run by their kids and their kid’s friends as a way to funnel their wealth to their children? Which is what buffet and gates literally do. These people are billionaires, you don’t think they have PR that tells them to say they’re altruistic? You don’t think they straight up lie when they tell you they’re giving away their money?
There’s no such thing as a good billionaire. That’s like watching a man eating dragon sitting on a pile of gold and being like “yeah but he gave me a coin once”
To become a billionaire, you steal the wages, benefits, severance, etc. from all the employees that made you a rich with their labor. You become a billionaire by keeping 99% of the wealth from the work of others. Billionaires are literally hoarding wealth while millions starve. How is that a good man? If you’re a billionaire, you fucked everyone on your way up. You’re not good.

There are no good billionaires, prove me wrong.

The suffering and death required to create and sustain any billionaire should bee punished.
