    Interesting that the names I recognize are on the more liberal end of the billionaire spectrum.

  2. Such a useless list as its related to CURRENT net worth. If you were worth 1B and donate down to 10 M, you’d have donated 100x (10,000%)!.

    Like a person who donated 1 M and is now utterly broke would be at infinity.

  3. ELon is NEVER on any of these lists…. unless it’s political donations. then he’s an open tap.

    Thank you for listening to feedback, I think this list is much more insightful!

    Sure, but have you considered that Soros is Jewish and therefore more dogwhistle than man?

  6. I love how all the pos at apple are never there. Makes me hate that pos brand even more.

    Expecting or praising billionaires for donating to philanthropy is counterproductive.

    If the philanthropic actions are worth doing, then we generally can pay for it with taxes, otherwise we are just handing critical support systems over to the whims of wealthy individuals, and in doing so, losing control.

    Often, we tax things that are a burden on society so to disincentive them. In our current system, when we only expect „decent“ billionaires give to charitable causes and support our society, we are basically incentivising the wealthy to learn to live with the congintive dissonance of being bastards… after all, it’s a lot cheaper.

    I’d add the donations to the net worth. Someone like Bill gates who donated billions of dollars will be „punished“ for having donated too much.

    Is George Soros a good person? I know literally nothing about him only when people do crazy conspiracy theoriest jokes and mention his name

    It’s trendy to vilify Jewish people these days but 40% of this list including the top 2 are Jewish philanthropists…

    If you want to know who is making your political agenda, that top line is all you need to know.

    Funding political campaigns isn’t really in the spirit of “Donating” imo.

  12. Soros at 320%: He currently has around $9 billion net worth; he donated $32B to OSF (his charitable organization). George Soros transferred primary control of OSF to his son, Alexander in 2023. OSF currently has assets worth $23B.

    Conveniently leaves out the original that had the average % of people listed above most of the billionaires. They donate less of their resources than most people.

    So giving money to your own foundation that your children sit on the board of is considered philanthropy?

    It would be useful to break out donations based on type. Donations that give someone policy or academic access/power aren’t the same as more humanitarian ones that don’t come with strings attached.

  16. It’s important to define what was measured as “charity” for this study. Union/ Guild contributions, church/religious donations, Political parties/PACs?

    I’m a little surprised to see Reed Hastings on this chart.

    I don’t know much about him other than some bungled PR stuff with regard to higher prices and lower offerings, maybe discontinuing the mailed discs or something. No real memory, just a bad vibe.

    Hopefully his charitable giving is real and continues, regardless.
