       I truly detest rich folk savior crap, but I'm surprised on all the billionaire fever were living no one talks about McKenzie Scott. In May 2019, Scott signed the Giving Pledge, a charitable-giving campaign in which she undertook to give away most of her wealth to charity over her lifetime or in her will. The pledge is not legally binding.[35]Wikipedia"In a July 2020 Medium post,[36] Scott announced that she had donated $1.7 billion to 116 non-profit organizations, with a focus on racial equality, LGBTQ+ equality, democracy, and climate change.[37] Her gifts to HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and other colleges surpass $800 million.[38][39] In December 2020, less than six months later, Scott stated that she had donated a further $4.15 billion in the previous four months to 384 organizations, with a focus on providing support to people affected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and addressing long-term systemic inequities.[40]"

       @tomjennings she gets talked about in some circles. One notable element to her giving (which initially she kept somewhat private but after feedback has been more public about) is that her gifts to organizations are usually unencumbered which is rare a lot of donors especially rich ones encumber their gifts for specific purposes or only for expenses not stuff like capital campaigns or facilities or if they support a facility require it be named how they want etc. See https://yieldgiving.com

       @tomjennings I'd prefer big tech paying taxes like the rest of mankind, possibly more, but i'm glad that part of the money I spent in Amazon/Aws goes there.People like her, or Gates, got my respect
