If the same thinking applies to multi millionaires, say those with half a billion, then it would indeed seem there is something wrong with billionaires.
My take on the ethics of billionaires: - Making billions of dollars: morally fine (sometimes bad, often good) - Keeping billions of dollars: morally bad (children are dying yo) - Giving away billions of dollars: morally awesome (you save many people, you deserve much praise)
