I often wondered about these type of fellows giving away the majority of their money. Is it really them wanting to better their fellow man or just them trying to buy their way into heaven for their misdeeds when they earned their fortune.
One of the earlier one of these guys would have been Carnegie. HE crushed his competition with terrible business practices and treated his workers little better than slaves.
Using Warren Buffet as an example. He has this Grand fatherly vibe NOW in the public world but he helped destroy more companies than he ever saved. He is a classic corporate raider type of fellow.
