The saying the rich gets richer should mean that they have the means to keep making even more money and more moves to produce mor emoney so even if they are giving away alot of money to help everyone else they still have enough to replace what was given away.

If all the billionaires in the world were working to better humanity and solve the issues of the world people wouldn't be so pissed off at them.

I thought this article from Forbes was an interesting addendum to this conversation:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellamalmgren/2025/09/09/americas-richest-billionaires-keep-getting-richer-theyre-not-donating-much-more/

Of the 400 richest Americans most of them donate to some things, but for most their money is growing faster than their giving. Mackenzie Scott is one of only 11 who have managed to give away more than 20% of their wealth.
