I understand why Queen B or T Swift aren't doing it, but the only moral activity (beyond survival tasks) that a "good billionaire" can be engaged in is redistributing their wealth to marginalized workers.

You can figure out your next album / tour or how to benefit your friends and family once you get to 999M USD.

Why do you understand why Swift and Queen B arent doing it?

They aren't doing it? Everyone's doing it!

Everyones at it.

I don't know about other people, but I tend to drift toward doing things that are fun, comfortable, and familiar, unless I do some "internal parenting". Even if they found a way to make redistributing their wealth fun, they are shaped by capitalism even more than myself, so I doubt they'd find it comfortable or familiar.

That's how I understand it.

I'm going to get comfortable and familiar with community investment of my own resources well before I reach 1B, by intention.
