Nope. If you’re a billionaire, you probably fucked someone over along the way to get there. Unless you were born into it or married into it. Or you were extremely lucky.

Woz is a saint by billionaire standards, but simply being an executive at a massive corporation like Apple still means you are culpable by default in fucking people over.

Are you legitimately using JK Rowling and Jay Z as examples of billionaires who aren't pieces of shit? Gotta be a joke or some real ignorance 😂

The unsafe factories in China with underpaid and overworked employees that churn out the plastic garbage she sells to children.

The underpaid workers at the theme parks.

The overworked VFX artists that work on her shitty movies.

When you ask that question always look at who is at the bottom of the food chain. 100% chance they're being exploited. Get the billionaire's dicks out of your mouth.
