    There are a tiny proportion of relatively decent ones, such as Mackenzie Scott (Bezos’ ex-wife), so I would only ask that such a hunt not be completely indiscriminate.

      They can give their money away if they really are decent. Like she is doing. A notice of the start of hunting season should be all they would need to move themselves out of that class.

        Make it a Top Ten Hunt. The list would be fluid as they either dispose of assets or get eliminated. Spoils go to the charity of those most in need.

          The list would be fluid

          If the killer keeps the money they take the ‘vacant’ place in the list, in the end the person most willing to use violence and most capable to buy protection end up with most money. Might not really be a meaningful difference to what we have now lol

      All billionaires are bastards. Full stop. It doesn’t fucking matter if they got there through marriage. It doesn’t fucking matter if they donate to charity and seem like nice people. Nothing they can do can excuse the evil done by them or on their behalf to become that wealthy in the first place. You can tell they’re cool with it because they never seem to stop being billionaires of their own free will.

        Keeping such a black & white view of things makes you no better than MAGAts, IMHO. There’s nuance to everything, and if you can’t be bothered to consider it then YOU are making yourself part of the problem.

        If you bothered to look into things & think them through, you’d see she’s using her wealth to generate even more money she can donate to good causes. If she just gave away everything she got out of the marriage right away, she’d be approaching the bottom of her barrel right about now instead of having much more to contribute to good causes as she now does.

        Step back from the anger, and get a bigger view of things, eh?

    • Get Woked more, there are none. They have all these resources that poor-extremely (disgustingly, no one ever wants to live like, but when forced to will) poor people will never have, not just in poor countries, but in The 1st World’s wealthiest countries. And those people do not care enough to reduce their wealths/resources, hidden from taxes in USA & Etc. banking, to devote to truly making a difference in those poor-extremely (disgustingly, no one ever wants to live like, but when forced to will) poor people‘s lives & generations after them.
