  Philantropic activities do not negate billionaires behaviour. You can’t get that rich without things like tax evasion.

    then fix the tax code so they can’t do it anymore.

  It’s not about whether or not he has other philanthropic activities.

  It’s about the fact that he thinks it’s okay to spend a billion dollars on just boats.

    well, it’s not okay to spend thousands of dollars on OF subscriptions either. so why do you do it?

      Is this supposed to be your idea of a witty comeback because you took criticism of a billionaire personally, and now just want to belittle others to feel better about yourself?

        I take nothing personally from idiotic comments on the internet.

        All I was doing was drawing a correlation between how a rich man spends his money and how a poor man spends his money. both spend it just the same except one has more to show for it.

        are you jealous of the big yachts rich men have compared to your little dinghy? let me impart some wisdom on you, jealousy is a lubricant to keep you in the pit you find yourself in. don’t use it when someone hands you a bottle.
