People who are filthy rich are in that position because they are greedy and all their moves are calculated and focused on getting more rich... Humanitarian help, or creating a charity is also in the same pot... It's not for free, and only naive people think it is... They don't give a sh*t about you and me, or anyone else in some 3rd world country... They care about the resources and how to grow their wealth...

Giving breadcrumbs to people and taking their diamonds... Just one of the best examples...

Anyway, nice story and he (and his buddies) ruined a lot of countries all around the globe... If you realize there is a problem, you should try to help fix it, and not put the nail in the coffin and ruin so many lives...

Thanks for sharing... and sorry for this "fiery" comment... 😃

No problem about the "fiery" comment! 😀

It seems appropriate for the situation.

Good example with the diamond mines...

I remember another interesting comment of another big whale in the world who likes to play humanitarian after retirement from Microsoft: Bill Gates. He was once interviewed by someone in our country, and the interviewer, like many times, belittle himself and us, saying something like: "... coming to a small country like ours ...", to which Bill Gates immediately cut him off and said "It's not a small country.". He just had a better perspective, of course, to some degree coming from the wider perspective offered by the contracts Microsoft had with our central and local administrations for the OS, Office and whatever tools they could sell at the time, and probably to this day.

Oh, don't get me on the Bill Gates thing, please... I have a personal "thing" with him from my past... 😂

I used to work mostly with Microsoft products early on... From OS to programming stuff. I also learned more about him, as a person and his interests, later on. Some things I learned simply shocked me (and still do, to this day).
