The ethical billionaire is such an oxymoronic impossibility.

At some point, I'd say around ten million in the current housing market, you have more than enough money forever. If you're a business owner and don't start taking a token salary and ensuring everyone around you gets a comfortable life at that point then you're just a fucking asshole.
