Yes, the mentality behing it is flawed. But those are the people that make it to the top in the current economic system.
Being a billionaire should be listed in the DSM as a mental illness.
Hypothetical situation, you are a normal person you've likely struggled all your life with bills and debts and then one day you randomly find yourself a billionaire. Perhaps you inherited it, or won the lotto. What would you suggest a person in that situation do? This is would be a once in a lifetime opportunity, , you could finally not have to stress about money, but in order to save your soul should you give it all away to charity and go back to your normal life as though nothing had happened?
Edit: I was legitimately curious what the ethical solution would be if one were to find themselves in that exceedingly rare situation that I described. But okay looks like I ruffled a few feathers by asking.
One can live their entire life with a lot less than a billion. Even putting 99% of it away to a good cause leaves 10 MILLION. Again excessive for a lifetime.
