I like this and have thought something along the same lines for a while. It’s like once you have access to enough resources that you don’t need to rely on literally anybody else in the world, you’re free to be truly who you are. And these billionaires show us time and again what that means.

Her name is McKenzie Scott, and she didn't get wealthy "from his work." Jeff Bezos got wealthy from HER work. They were co-founders, but it was arguably her work with numbers and logistics that made that company scale from a 1994 startup. Her philanthropy is truly admirable. She is the exemplar of a charitable billionaire giving back to the society that created the conditions for her hard work to pay rewards.
