    I’ve made this comparison against Taylor Swift and it works for Gaben too. There is no ethical way for an individual person to acquire more than a billion dollars, full stop. That said, there are billionaires who have come across their fortunes a little more honestly than others. Taylor Swift and Gaben are good examples of that. So if/when the guillotine comes out I hope Taylor S. and Gaben won’t be on the chopping block and will relinquish a lot of their wealth. Unlike Peter Theil who is just evil.

      Hard agree! Although my personal version is less about acquiring than having.

      Even if someone acquired a billion through the most ethical means possible, the simple fact that they are holding onto that disgustingly imbalanced amount of wealth is unethical.
