There’s not very many billionaires, and they seem to be dying with increasing frequency.

    Losing my mind at the statements made about his “generosity” lol. He dropped $75 million on University of Chicago. A donation of about 0.75% of his net worth.

    The median net worth of an American family in 2019 was $121k. A commensurate donation for them would be about $900, far less than they pay in taxes per month.

    It’s been a bad month for billionaires. Glad I’m poor.
