Mark Cuban is a bit of a wall street asshole, but he’s created a drug company to slash the prices of generic drugs for Americans: https://www.npr.org/2022/01/24/1075344246/mark-cuban-pharmacy#:~:text=Billionaire%20investor%20and%20Dallas%20Mavericks,of%20its%20online%20pharmacy%20Wednesday.

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?

He still allows Windows to exploit people's data to the fullest

yea but he is better than the previous ones

Still massive, massive room for improvement. Still very much anticompetitive and uses M$' monopolistic position. Still looks for ways to squash competition. And still wants people locked in to Windows and their products. Case in point, I was hoping VS for Mac is a change of course, and will pave the way to VS for Linux, but I'm proven wrong once again.

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
