    Didn’t Bill Gates revolutionize home computing for the average user? I’d consider that important work.

    And why is it just billionaires? What about people worth tens of millions? Shouldn’t we also talk about them? Steve Wozniak is estimated to be worth around 140 million. Is he also evil?

      No, he built a monopoly on top of a stolen product
