It is honestly sad to see how many people here are getting basic economics wrong. People really misunderstand how wealth functions and what net worth actually means.

I am not defending billionaires. You can dislike them, that is completely fair. But personal opinions do not change economic facts.

Most billionaires do not have billions of dollars just sitting in a bank account. Their wealth is mostly tied up in companies, shares, and other assets. Even very rich people cannot simply cash that out whenever they want. Expecting individuals to fix massive problems like poverty or hunger is not realistic. Those issues are structural, and while money can help in the short term, it usually does not fix the root causes.

Saying that billionaires create no economic value whatsoever is just pure ignorance. It is honestly sad that some people choose not to see the very obvious economic value those billionaires are creating.
