    You missed another absurd part of Howard Hughes reclusive years. Back in the 60s, home media didn't really exist, so in order to watch all the movies he wanted whenever he wanted without having to go outside, he flat out bought a TV channel and would call them personally whenever he wanted to watch something specific.
    Guy had his own personal Netflix in the 60s

    "Official Development Assistance or “global aid” is a transfer of money and resources from predominantly richer countries to developing countries to help fight poverty and support economic development.
    In 2023, aid totalled US$223.7 billion"
    But 175 billion a year could end poverty.

    I've to disagree with the assertion billionaires are not evil. Lets start by saying that if you're an American, you'll need a couple million on the bank enough you don't need to work anymore… and up to this (unknown but approximate) amount, it's fine to "hoard."
    Past that limit, your focus should be on redistribution on wealth. Make one more company, buy more shoes, or anything at all to spend that extra money… or you're in fact evil.
    If someone will die because you have access to something they don't… you're evil, period. You're aware, you can afford it… there's no excuse whatsoever.

    Mentioning that spending any amount of money would end world poverty is completely false. Ending poverty isn't about throwing money to solve a problem, if that were the case poverty would be ended a long time ago. Extreme poverty is caused by factors such as corruption, war, incompetent government, among other factors. Furthermore, to solve poverty it's never been about donating food, or clothes which is the most common form of poverty. However, all that ends up doing is saturating the market and ends up hurting the countries they are supposed to help as for example free clothes destroys the local clothing market. There is no easy way to fix poverty in the world and the world has made progress in reducing it, however most of the poverty in the world is in Sub-Saharan Africa where they have deep societal issues and conflicts that throwing money would not solve anything, if throwing money can end poverty, it would be ended already. There's also the fact that the overwhelming majority of billionaires are from Western countries, and the overwhelming majority of the impoverished are from sub-Saharan Africa, this could lead to neocolonialism where the billionaire donaters ends up controlling those countries.
