This is what happens to a society that worships money. Even if presume a wealth hoarder wanted to make a good faith effort to improve other people's lives, he's so insulated from reality that he couldn't even fathom doing the one thing that would make a material difference: parting with his money, paying his employees what they're worth, paying the taxes he ought to owe.
Instead he comes up with some cockimamey scheme using the tools at his disposal. It's like he's trying to distract himself from the obvious right answer. And that removes any appearance of good faith immediately.
