There's ~2000 confirmed billionares on Earth. Some do philanthropy, some do evil, but most just enjoy being comically rich, like Jeff.

Honestly that sounds about like what the people I know would do. This is because it's all random chance, and they are an average group of people.

Id say its still import how they got so rich, oil people for example are definitely on the evil scale. And thats the more important part, when when you get rich by destroying the world and using literal slave labor you are definitely evil. And this type of billionaire is more common than the good people.

Well, sure, not in the ~2000 are guys like Putin or the Saudi royals. We all know they have way more than just a billion, but we can't prove it. Then again, there's a lot of mean people who are still poor. I've met some.

The math is sound. I'm always linking that thing because more people need to know.
