    I’m not sure that’s true.

    Let’s realistically entertain your point: You say he should sell his assets to get money, so he can give it to the poor, basically (correct me if I’m wrong).

    The yacht and other stuff, probably bought with a loan, insured by Steam’s value. His real assets is, like, Steam.

    I don’t know if you already see where this is going, but from clarity: If people would buy parts of that - the parts are called “shares”, and the people who buy them “shareholders”. That is a public company. Which now has a LEGAL OBLIGATION to make as much money as possible. Meaning all that enshittification coming along with it eventually, too.

      You’ve effectively explained how billionaires justify not paying taxes. Now explain how they can be good people.
