Li Ka-shin is another good answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Ka-shing who gained a bunch of money like Bill Gates and started his own foundation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Ka_Shing_Foundation which works towards education reform, the foundation constantly builds and donates to universities to help them further the reach of impoverished students. Additionally, they support a lot of medical services and research to help impoverished areas of HK.

I don't know current ms ceo?
Tony Khan created AEW and seems to genuinely care about his employees. He put on a private plane this week so the wrestlers could attend the funeral of Bray Wyatt and still make it to Dynamite
How about no? Stop deepthroating billionaires, please.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Romans 3:12
You're right. There's no billionaire who has done good. But there's also no human who has done good either.
Elon Musk. Without him, electric cars wouldn't be the almost-mainstream thing they are today. We also would be a decade behind on space launch.

JK Rowling donated so much money that she's no longer a billionaire!
Elon Musk
Popularized electric cars, funded the design for re-usable space rockets and gave people on the rural areas aswell as Ukrainian soldiers internet access.
The flood of downvotes now demonstrates how all this is ignored because people hate him nevertheless.
He popularized electric cars while giving his workers horrible working conditions and human rights abuses. I gotta say I like SpaceX, but NASA being underfunded is a problem, because a national space program being dependent on a private company is not good.
Starlink has been good for internet access, the downside is that it'll become part of the space trash problem in some years.
Elon Musk is still a piece of trash.
