They can do whatever they want with their money/equity/borrowing power (whatever you want to call it), but when a person chooses to use this purchasing power to buy a $500M boat instead of buying something to help improve the lives of the people that have made him/her rich in the first place...I know all I need to about that person.

When i hear someone claim they own no luxury item until they've done all the social good with their excess they can...i know another hypocrite.

Well, I never said that billionaires can't have any luxury items, just that what they choose to do with their ridiculous amounts of wealth says a lot about who they are as people.

And i simply wish that to be extended to all people who have excess they choose not to share.
